Answer 1

    LoadRuns();
if (loadedruns == 1) {
Toast.makeText(MainActivity.this, "First run", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show(); 
}
else {
Toast.makeText(MainActivity.this, "No. runs: " + loadedruns,
Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
}
loadedruns++;
SaveRuns("runs", loadedruns);


    public void SaveRuns(String key, int value){
sharedPreferences =  PreferenceManager.getDefaultSharedPreferences(getApplicationContext());
SharedPreferences.Editor editor = sharedPreferences.edit();
editor.putInt(key, value);
editor.commit();
}
public void LoadRuns(){
sharedPreferences =  PreferenceManager.getDefaultSharedPreferences(getApplicationContext());
loadedruns = sharedPreferences.getInt("runs", 1);
}

Answer 2

Try out

 SharedPreferences shf = getSharedPreferences("NAME_SharedPref", MODE_WORLD_READABLE);
    String strPref = shf.getString("SERVERIP", null);

    if(strPref != null) {
    // do some thing

    }

Answer 3

Every method for fetching values from SharedPreferences has default value which is returned in case the key does not exist

preferences = getSharedPreferences("text", 0);
String value = preferences.getString("unknown_key",null);
if (value == null) {
    // the key does not exist
} else {
    // handle the value
}

Try contains(String key) Accorting to the Javadocs,

Checks whether the preferences contains a preference. Returns true if the preference exists in the preferences, otherwise false.
