Android Question Promo Code Detect

[nw11]

Hi everyone, I have created some promo codes to give to some customers for my paid app (not in-app) .. I'll wanted to know if there is the possibility of knowing, in the first launch of the app just downloaded, that it was purchased using a promo code.

this is because the app purchased with the promo code must have special functions activated automatically.

thanks everyone in advance

I have used this method in my apps before,

what i did was i used sql database with a webservice that connect to an sql database stored in it promo codes in table called PromosOffers
then i used an sqlite database to store the promo code that was it was entered by the user

this way you can first check if the user ever entered a promo code once he/she launches the app
and if there was no promo code in the sqlite database then a pop up will appear stating to enter the promo code, if the user clicks cancel (means no promo code) then it will be stored in the sqlite database that the user click no promo and the pop up will never show

for me this method is the best one

thank you very much for sharing your experience with this issue. yours is certainly an excellent solution that I will consider. if, however, I put myself on the side of the user who has just bought the app with his own money and I see a pop-up appear asking me for an additional code to activate special functions, surely I would not be happy. I would think they want to get more money out of me and I would close it all by asking for a refund. what I was looking for was a solution that was transparent for the user who buys and automatic for the user who uses a promo code. knowing if he used a promotional code to buy the app is the most logical solution. Maybe one of the Erel's tricks could be the solution.
