Answer 1

You can store set of String using SharedPreferences in API Level 11 and higher. See getStringSet() and putStringSet()ю

In API Level prior to 11 you can use some kind of hack. For example, if you need to store string array under key "stringArray", you can save each string from array using putString and keys "stringArray.1", "stringArray.2", so on.
