Question

I am very new to Android development.

I want my Android app to launch the preference page the first time it is run.

Any tips on how to do that ?
Thanks.

YOu will need to use sharedpreference to save boolean preference.

This should work for you.

 SharedPreferences prefs = PreferenceManager.getDefaultSharedPreferences(getBaseContext());
boolean previouslyStarted = prefs.getBoolean("PREVIOUSLY_STARTED, false);
if(!previouslyStarted){
SharedPreferences.Editor edit = prefs.edit();
edit.putBoolean(getString(R.string.pref_previously_started), Boolean.TRUE);
            edit.commit();
showPreference();//Here you launch your Preference Activity if it hasnt been launched before.

}
