You can set a username for a mobile app in Aternity Mobile SDK to be consistent with desktops and laptops, so you can track this user's experience across all devices and platforms.In Android, you can set the username of the application at initialization, or separately using the setUsername method from the Aternity class.

The Aternity class provides the getInstance method which returns a singleton object. You should call the class's methods using the singleton object, to avoid manually creating and maintaining the Aternity object.
