I need a way to detect if this is the first time the user is ever opening the application, if so, start an activity. Then all previous application launches wouldn’t start that activity. I’ve read in a few places about using preferences to accomplish this. Anyone got any ideas?

    Yeah, preferences is the way to go.

    Check for the existence of the preference flag, if that exists you have already set, so your application was already started. Otherwise start your welcome activity and set the flag for future.
