MediaPlayer - How to show a alert dialoge when app is launched first time

Question

Hello I have 2 audio files in my app what I want is when the app is launched the first time and when the user plays the 1st audio for the first time I want to show a dialog but after then never show it again

and when the user clicks the ok then only the dialog will disappear

I only have created the XML of the dialog becz I don't know how to show a layout when the app is launched the first time

MainActivity.java here the player1 (Media Player) and play1(ImageView as the button to play the audio) is for the first audio where the dialog has to be shown

public class MainActivity extends AppCompatActivity {
    MediaPlayer player1, player2;
    SeekBar seekBar1, seekBar2;
    TextView currentTime1, currentTime2;
    TextView remainingTime1, remainingTime2;
    ImageView play1, play2;
    int totalTime1, totalTime2;

    @Override

    protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
        setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);

        // PlayButton    *  The ButtonClick is in the last if you want to jump directly there  *

        play1 = findViewById(R.id.playbtn);
        play2 = findViewById(R.id.playbtn2);

        // TimeLables

        currentTime1 = findViewById(R.id.currentTime1);
        currentTime2 = findViewById(R.id.currentTime2);
        remainingTime1 = findViewById(R.id.totalTime1);
        remainingTime2 = findViewById(R.id.totalTime2);

        // MediaPlayer

        player1 = MediaPlayer.create(this, R.raw.dog_howl);
        player2 = MediaPlayer.create(this, R.raw.dog_bark);
        player1.setLooping(false);
        player1.seekTo(0);
        totalTime1 = player1.getDuration();
        player2.setLooping(false);
        player2.seekTo(0);
        totalTime2 = player2.getDuration();


        //SeekBar

        seekBar1 = findViewById(R.id.seekbar1);
        seekBar2 = findViewById(R.id.seekbar2);
        seekBar1.setMax(totalTime1);
        seekBar2.setMax(totalTime2);

        seekBar1.setOnSeekBarChangeListener(new SeekBar.OnSeekBarChangeListener() {
            @Override
            public void onProgressChanged(SeekBar seekBar, int progress, boolean fromUser) {
                player1.seekTo(progress);
                seekBar1.setProgress(progress);
                currentTime1.setText(createTimerLable1(progress));
            }

            @Override

            @Override
            public void onProgressChanged(SeekBar seekBar, int i, boolean b) {
                player2.seekTo(i);
                seekBar2.setProgress(i);
                currentTime2.setText(createTimerLable2(i));

Answer 1

As @blackapps suggested, You will save the information about the user in SharedPreferences . You will save whether you have displayed the dialog and whether user's has played audio for first time or not.

To save or get the details from SharedPreferences,

1. You can follow this SO answer for storing strings, int, boolean etc.
2. You can follow this SO answer for storing custom objects.
