For this u can use preference.if The login is sucessful u can set the username and password in prefernce.if user loged out preference sets back to the defult guest account.

refer this..http://developer.android.com/reference/android/preference/Preference.html

if the login is suceesful set preference like this

 String user_name_key = "Username";
String pass_word_key = "Password";

String Shared_preference_key = "Shared Preference";
private SharedPreferences USERNAME_and_PASSWORD;





public boolean setUserName(String userName) {
    editor = USERNAME_and_PASSWORD.edit();
    editor.putString(user_name_key, userName);
    editor.commit();
    return true;
}

public boolean setPassword(String password) {

    editor = USERNAME_and_PASSWORD.edit();
    editor.putString(pass_word_key, password);
    editor.commit();
    return true;
}

You can use the SharedPreferences for this to storing the info of the logged in user . 

// Access the default SharedPreferences
  SharedPreferences.Editor editor = getPreferences(MODE_PRIVATE).edit();


// Edit the saved preferences
editor.putString("UserName", "JaneDoe");
editor.putInt("password", "******");
editor.commit();

and these value can be retrieve in this way . 

SharedPreferences prefs = getPreferences(MODE_PRIVATE); 
String UserName= prefs.getString("UserName", null);

So that this info can be used in application everywhere .
