You can use intent to pass username from one activity to another.

Intent intent = new Intent(FirstActivity.this,SecondActivity.class);
intent.putExtra("username","enteredusername");
startActivity(intent);

And in SecondActivity

String name = getIntent().getStringExtra("username");

Now use the name and display the welcome +name

You can store the username in sqlite or sharedpreferences to get the username across all your application.

In order to send data from one activity to another, you need to use intents. So, in your login activity, you would launch your welcome activity like this:

Intent intent = new Intent(LoginActivity.this, WelcomeActivity.class);
intent.putextra("userName","value");
startActivity(intent);

Then, in your welcome activity, you need to retrieve the extra data, like so:

String data= getIntent().getStringExtra("userName");

There are a multitude of examples that can be found via Google, and many questions similar/identical to this have been answered previously on SO.
