Answer 1

Use SharedPreferences and Editor.

Check out this open source code, it will probably help you a lot: OsmandSettings.java

I'll explain the important parts of the code:

import android.content.SharedPreferences;
import android.content.SharedPreferences.Editor;

// These settings are stored in SharedPreferences, replace com.osmand.settings 
// with your own package name, or whatever String you want.
public static final String SHARED_PREFERENCES_NAME = "com.osmand.settings";
public static final String LATITUDE = "latitude";
public static final String LONGITUDE = "longitude";

To write to SharedPreferences:

public void onLocationChanged(Location location){
    SharedPreferences prefs = Context.getSharedPreferences(SHARED_PREFERENCES_NAME, Context.MODE_WORLD_READABLE);
    Editor editor = prefs.edit();
    //Save it as a float since SharedPreferences can't deal with doubles
    edit.putFloat(LATITUDE, (float) Location.getLatitude());
    edit.putFloat(LONGITUDE, (float) Location.getLongitude());
    edit.commit();
}

To read from SharedPreferences:

public void onLocationChanged(Location location){
    SharedPreferences prefs = Context.getSharedPreferences(SHARED_PREFERENCES_NAME, Context.MODE_WORLD_READABLE);
    double lat = (double)prefs.getFloat(LATITUDE, 0);
    double lon = (double)prefs.getFloat(LONGITUDE, 0);
}
