POOne-time AlertDialog showing on every run

copied!<p>I am trying to have a disclaimer pop up when the app is first run, and after each update. I did a bunch of googling and reviewed some questions here as well, and this is what my code looks like:</p> <pre><code>SharedPreferences pref = getSharedPreferences("Preferences", MODE_PRIVATE); SharedPreferences.Editor edit = pref.edit(); String lver = pref.getString("Version", ""); String ver = this.getString(R.string.version); if(ver != lver) { AlertDialog.Builder builder = new AlertDialog.Builder(this); builder.setTitle("Disclaimer") .setMessage(this.getString(R.string.disclaimer)) .setCancelable(false) .setPositiveButton("Accept", new DialogInterface.OnClickListener() { public void onClick(DialogInterface dialog, int id) { accepted = true; dialog.cancel(); } }) .setNegativeButton("Decline", new DialogInterface.OnClickListener() { public void onClick(DialogInterface dialog, int id) { MainMenu.this.finish(); } }); AlertDialog disc = builder.create(); disc.show(); if(accepted == true) { edit.putString("Version", this.getString(R.string.version)); edit.commit(); } } </code></pre> <p>This code actually worked at first, but when I changed my apps starting activity, and moved this code from the original starting activity to the new one, it no longer works. The disclaimer appears on every run.</p> <p>I want the popup only to show on first run and after updates. What do I need to do to achieve this? I am very frustrated and confused by the fact that it was working, then wasnt.</p>
