detect first run on

Hello,

is there a simple way to detect the first time an app is launched? I need to display a message on first run but want to make sure it doesn’t appear every time the app is loaded.

Check if a file you create exists, if it doesn’t then this must be the first run so create the file. [import]uid: 119420 topic_id: 34583 reply_id: 137512[/import]

Thanks,

Thats what I will do, didn’t know if there was something like nsuserdefaults. So is system.DocumentsDirectory valid for Android? Just want to make sure its the correct place to put the file?

We use the Docs directory on Android yea so it should be fine. [import]uid: 119420 topic_id: 34583 reply_id: 137719[/import]
