Question

I have two activities but I want to apply a condition on application start, if one is true then start first activity else start second activity. Right now I am doing it by starting a third activity displaying some welcome stuff and examining the value in background..then appropriate activity gets called. I think there must be some standard way to do this. Peace.

Answer 1

Since you need to specify starting activity in manifest, you can always start first activity, check your condition on onCreate() and if you need to start second one – start second one and call finish() for the first activity.

Otherwise usually people use splash activity to check all the conditions at the startup (which is your current solution).
