use sharedpreference. think whenever class loads loads boolean initial status false. meet 1 condition,all time, condition meeting now.

when persist, mean need save boolean state can load storage , check,with boolean not dependent on initial state false

so in oncreate this

 sharedpreference sp = getpreference(0);  boolean onclickskip = sp.getboolean("onclick",false); 

now can continue; if want save boolean state

editor e = sp.edit(); e.putboolean("onclick",onclickskip); e.commit(); 

now continue codes
