Answer 1

Preference is the UI part that is used to allow modification of shared preferences. It actually uses SharedPreferences inside.

From the docs:

Represents the basic Preference UI building block displayed by a PreferenceActivity in the form of a ListView. This class provides the View to be displayed in the activity and associates with a SharedPreferences to store/retrieve the preference data.
