So basically on the first screen, I have given a few instructions on how to log in to the app. And in the second screen is log in. The instruction screen should only be shown if the user is using the app for the first time, if the user uses the app for the second or 3rd time then few components of that app should hide. How to check this condition? ---

I think you may need to check if skip is null first? ---

If youā€™re using the code above, stored variables are stored on the phone, so a different device (whether the same user or not) will not have the value set. ---
