If you have shared preferences, then you can do this: Step #1: Get your shared preferences (hopefully PreferenceManager.getDefaultSharedPreferences()) Step #2: Look for the "hey! I've been run before" preference Step #2a: If that preference is not found, it's your first run, so set that preference (and commit() the change) and do your first-run logic Step #2b: If that preference is found, you've been run before, so...ummm...carry on, or whatever -- Mark Murphy (a Commons Guy) http://commonsware.com | http://twitter.com/commonsguy Android Training...At Your Office: http://commonsware.com/training -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Developers" group.
