Hey!

I need to count the number of app starts, as only on the first launch do I need my users to agree to the privacy policy/terms of service! I found on;

 

https://felgo.com/doc/apps-howtos/#save-things-in-a-local-database

 

the section of:

 import Felgo 3.0
 import QtQuick 2.5

 App {

   // define Storage item for loading/storing key-value data
   Storage {
     id: localStorage
     property int appStarts: 0

     // update app starts counter
     Component.onCompleted: {
       var nr = localStorage.getValue("appstarts")
       if(nr === undefined)
         nr = 0

       nr++
       localStorage.setValue("appstarts", nr)
       appStarts = nr
     }
   }

   // define page that shows nr of app starts
   NavigationStack {

     Page {
       id: page
       title: "Local Storage"

       AppText {
         anchors.centerIn: parent
         text: "App Starts: "+localStorage.appStarts
       }
     }
   }
 }

and have added to my main.qml, but I still get the popup each time my users launch the app?

the visibility of the item I want show/hide is on a separate page, loginPage.qml, and the visibility is:

 

Item {

        id: termsAccept

        visible: localStorage.appStarts > 1 ? false : true

        enabled: localStorage.appStarts > 1 ? false : true
}

 

WHat could I change to sort this?

 

Thanks 🙂

Hi Edward,

do you see no issue in the log output? From the code you posted, there is nothing suspicious jumping to my eye. Does the text display the correct value for the number of app starts?

Cheers,
Alex

Hi Alex,

It was not counting as the popup showed on every launch, however I found another example on the storage page which uses a Boolean flag which works as intended!

Thanks!

    Storage {
        id: myLocalStorage

        Component.onCompleted: {

          var isFirstStartApplication = myLocalStorage.getValue("firstStart")
          if(isFirstStartApplication == undefined) {
            applicationFirstStart = true
          }

          myLocalStorage.setValue("firstStart", true)
        }
    }
