Post the following code within your onCreate statement

Boolean isFirstRun = getSharedPreferences("PREFERENCE", MODE_PRIVATE) .getBoolean("isFirstRun", true);

if (isFirstRun) {
    //show start activity

    startActivity(new Intent(MainActivity.this, Activity1.class));
    Toast.makeText(MainActivity.this, "First Run", Toast.LENGTH_LONG)
            .show();
}


   getSharedPreferences("PREFERENCE", MODE_PRIVATE).edit()
            .putBoolean("isFirstRun", false).commit();

Replace Activity1.class with the class that you would like to launch

This code works well,but my requirment is to,run an activity only whenever the 1st time the APK was installed,frm this method it runs evrytime i restrt the app,do u have a solution??? — Shanaka WickramaArachchi, Jun 15 '16 at 12:10
