Question

What I want is that when Activity starts first time, it first checks if nimiolemas is true. Since it just starts, then it can’t be true. So, it will automatically starts new activity and also asks to get me info. In activity 2 person can type their name and when they press Ok, info will be sent back to activity one. Now, I don’t know really how to change there Boolean to true and send that as well, so for now I told to change nimiolemas true before launching activity 2.

After pressing ok, it sends back to activity one and does the check again. Since it should be now true and also able to retrieve information about persons name, then it will go to true condition and print that name on screen in first activity. Now whenever program is launched, it will skip asking name and will straight show the person name :).

But it doesn’t work exactly as I want. Before i put boolean, it actually went to second activity, but I couldn’t get data so well. I have been working on solution for too long and I really appreciate help. If I find mistakes I can study from that more then searching on solution all over internet for next 10 hours :(.

I might have made some things very wrong, so please let me know and teach me! I really want to get better in this! So far I have done:

Instead of using a boolean, you should be using Shared Preferences.
