I've done (1) by storing a Boolean in my application preferences structure that
indicates whether this is the first run of the application. When loading the
application preferences, if none are found, I create suitable initial preferences,
including a value of true for this Boolean. Theoretically, you don't even need a
Boolean in the preferences, since the presence or absence of the application
preferences is enough to tell you whether the application has been run before.
