I have created a setting in the Settings menu that allows a user to enter their name. What I need to know now, is how to display that name. I have pretty much everything done except displaying the name to the right of the nameLabel. Any help is greatly appreciated.

You can read the value of name from EditTextPreference
element like below
String username = PreferenceManager.getDefaultSharedPreferences(this).getString("pref_name", "No name");
And then display it in the TextView
like this
nameTextView.setText(username);
