Answer 1

The shared preferences are accessible throughout your application, so you can read them from any activity in the application.

Storing a key/value pair in activity A:

SharedPreferences settings = getSharedPreferences("mysettings", 
     Context.MODE_PRIVATE);

SharedPreferences.Editor editor = settings.edit();
editor.putString("mystring", "wahay");
editor.commit();

Reading this value from another activity:

SharedPreferences settings = getSharedPreferences("mysettings", 
    Context.MODE_PRIVATE);
String myString = settings.getString("mystring", "defaultvalue");
