SharedPreferences on first run are not saved when pressing Back Button

I have an Activity that only runs when the application is opened the first time. Every time I open the app again, this Activity won't run(and this is ok). The problem comes when I press the Back Button the first time I open my app. That Activity appears again and I don't want that to happen. How can I prevent this to happen?

This is my SharedPreferences code on my main activity's onCreate(the variable is created outside):

prefs = getSharedPreferences("com.mycompany.myAppName", MODE_PRIVATE);

And this is the onResume method that let my app know if it's running for the first time:

`@Override
    protected void onResume() {
        super.onResume();
        if (prefs.getBoolean("firstrun", true)) {
            // Do first run stuff here then set 'firstrun' as false
            Intent myIntent = new Intent(MainActivity.this, StoryActivity.class);
            myIntent.addFlags(Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_NEW_TASK | Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_CLEAR_TASK);
            MainActivity.this.startActivity(myIntent);
            prefs.edit().putBoolean("firstrun", false).commit();
        }
       }`

Call finish() on your MainActivity before launching the Intent to direct to the next Activity. You can also declare noHistory=true in your AndroidManifest.xml to prevent the Activity from sticking around.

You can also use PackageManager.setComponentEnabledSetting(...) to completely change your "launcher" Activity once it's been viewed.

Because your activity is finish after starActivity.Use this, check the working code: @Override protected void onResume() { super.onResume(); if (prefs.getBoolean("firstrun", true)) { prefs.edit().putBoolean("firstrun", false).commit(); // Do first run stuff here then set 'firstrun' as false Intent myIntent = new Intent(MainActivity.this, StoryActivity.class); myIntent.addFlags(Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_NEW_TASK | Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_CLEAR_TASK); startActivity(myIntent); } }
