The best way to store a value which will be available all around your application is, as you said, the SharedPreferences.

To store your name user you can do this:

 SharedPreferences mPrefs = getSharedPreferences("MyPreferences", Context.MODE_PRIVATE);
 SharedPreferences.Editor editor = mPrefs.edit();
 editor.putString("username", "your name");
 editor.commit();

To retrieve your username you can do this:

SharedPreferences mPrefs = getSharedPreferences("MyPreferences", Context.MODE_PRIVATE);
String username = mPrefs.getString("username", "");
