title: Date change detection on application start up - Android
body: <p>I am new to Android programming and face a challenge that probably can be solved in seconds on this forum.</p>
  
  <p>I am trying to figure out how to enable an application during start up to detect whether the date has changed since it's last boot.</p>
  
  <p>When the date has changed, I intend to change the value in the textview. However if it hasn't,  the textview wont change. - I know how to create this function however stuck on the date change problem?</p>
  
  <p>I have read on alarmmanager however not sure this is required as it doesn't need to happen at the specific time only during boot up.</p>
  
  <p>Any advise would be appreciated.</p>
  
  <p>Thanks,</p>
  
  <p>p.s I am creating a basic quote application and want to include a quote of the day page. In order to do this, I need to know whether the date has changed in order for the application to change the quote</p>
