1.for storing in stored preferences use this

 SharedPreferences.Editor editor = getSharedPreferences("DeviceToken",MODE_PRIVATE).edit();
                        editor.putString("DeviceTokenkey","ABABABABABABABB12345");
editor.apply();

 MODE_PRIVATE);
    String deviceToken = prefs.getString("DeviceTokenkey", null);

Check out the Session Management in Android which shows you the way how you can manage the login if user is already logged into the application or not. And switch the user accordingly.

Hope this will help you.

Answer 4

Use SharedPreferences. contains which tell an key is present or not in SharedPreferences. Change your code as:

   SharedPreferences pref;
   SharedPreferences.Editor editor;
   pref = getSharedPreferences("testapp", MODE_PRIVATE);
   editor = pref.edit();
   if(pref.contains("register"))
    {
         String getStatus=pref.getString("register", "nil");
          if(getStatus.equals("true")){
             redirect to next activity
           }else{
            //first time
             editor.putString("register","true");
             editor.commit();
           ///  show registration page again
           }
    }
    else{ //first time
             editor = pref.edit();
             editor.putString("register","true");
             editor.commit();
           ///  show registration page again
    }

Answer 5

Implement your SharedPreferences this way:

Boolean isFirstTime;

SharedPreferences app_preferences = PreferenceManager
            .getDefaultSharedPreferences(Splash.this);

SharedPreferences.Editor editor = app_preferences.edit();

isFirstTime = app_preferences.getBoolean("isFirstTime", true);

if (isFirstTime) {

//implement your first time logic
editor.putBoolean("isFirstTime", false);
editor.commit();

}else{
//app open directly
}
