            usernameEditor = usernameSharedPreferences.edit();
            usernameEditor.putInt(PREFS_KEY_SIZE,(USERNAME.size()+1)); 
            int size=USERNAME.size();//USERNAME is arrayList
            usernameEditor.putString(PREFS_KEY_USERNAME+size,username);
            usernameEditor.commit();
        }
