How to skip second activity after first run forever?

Question

I am working on one app which contain SplashScreen.java my first activity. After that its show LoginActivity.java for login. And my LoginActivity.java class eventually start SplashActivity.java. I want after login first time everytime i start my app SplashScreen.java calls SplashActivity.java instead of LoginActivity.java. For this i made some changes in my SplashScreen.java class but its not working fine.

SplashScreen.java Class-

public class SplashScreen extends Activity 
{
    private long splashDelay = 5000; //5 seconds
    /** Called when the activity is first created. */
    @Override
    public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
        setContentView(R.layout.splash_screen);
        SharedPreferences pref = getSharedPreferences("ActivityPREF", Context.MODE_PRIVATE);
        if(pref.getBoolean("activity_executed", false))
        {
            Intent intent = new Intent(this, SplashActivity.class);
            startActivity(intent);
            finish();
        } 
        else 
        {
            Editor ed = pref.edit();
            ed.putBoolean("activity_executed", true);
            ed.commit();
        }
        TimerTask task = new TimerTask()
        {

            @Override
            public void run() {
                finish();
                Intent mainIntent = new Intent().setClass(SplashScreen.this, LoginActivity.class);
                startActivity(mainIntent);
            }

        };

        Timer timer = new Timer();
        timer.schedule(task, splashDelay);
    }
}

Anyone else help me. Now the only problem after first run. App start from SplashActivity instead of starting from SplashScreen.

Step 1 : Declare this in ur login class

SharedPreferences pref;
SharedPreferences.Editor editor;

Step 2 :Declare In onCrete method

pref = getSharedPreferences("login", MODE_PRIVATE);
editor = pref.edit();

Step 3 : OnClick of submit button in login page paste the lines below :

String check=pref.getString("selected", "nil")
if(check.equals("TRUE"))
{
Intent intent=new Intent(this,splash.class);
startActivity(intent);
}

Step 4: put this where u r getting the success message when user credentails and db credentials matches.

editor.putString("selected", "TRUE");
editor.commit();

I would think you have a logic problem there. Should be if not executed, run it and mark as executed.

if(!pref.getBoolean("activity_executed", false)) {
    Editor ed = pref.edit();
    ed.putBoolean("activity_executed", true);
    ed.commit();
    Intent intent = new Intent(this, SplashActivity.class);
    startActivity(intent);
    finish();
}

The problem is that calling finish does not stop the rest of onCreate from being executed. You need to put a return statement after:

Intent intent = new Intent(this, SplashActivity.class);
startActivity(intent);
finish();

        setContentView(R.layout.splash_screen);
        SharedPreferences pref = getSharedPreferences("ActivityPREF", Context.MODE_PRIVATE);

You missing I hope It will solve your problem

public class SplashScreen extends Activity 
{private long splashDelay = 5000; // 5 seconds

    /** Called when the activity is first created. */
    TimerTask task = new TimerTask() {

        @Override
        public void run() {
            finish();
            Intent mainIntent = new Intent().setClass(Test.this,
                    LoginActivity.class);
            startActivity(mainIntent);
        }

    };

    @Override
    public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
        setContentView(R.layout.splash_screen);
        SharedPreferences pref = getSharedPreferences("ActivityPREF",
                Context.MODE_PRIVATE);

        if (pref.getBoolean("activity_executed", false)) {
            Intent intent = new Intent(this, SplashActivity.class);
            startActivity(intent);
            finish();
        } else {

            Editor ed = pref.edit();
            ed.putBoolean("activity_executed", true);
            ed.commit();



            Timer timer = new Timer();
            timer.schedule(task, splashDelay);
