Question

I want a notification to pop up when an app opens. But once User dismisses, I don’t want it to come back again, even if they go back to the same activity. But when the app exits, and they come back later, I want same dialog notification to pop up (prompting user to login).

So basically…

boolean b = true;

if (b == true) {
     // show dialog
     b = false;
} 

I simply want var b to save state but clear on exit.

I’m not sure there’s a point to using sharedpreference if you don’t want the value to persist across your app being closed, as that’s kind of the point of them.

Perhaps just using a boolean in your Application class would be better? It will be persistent until the app is completely shutdown.
