I am still poking around Android and don't know the specific call, but I
assume there is some way to determine a unique username, or to always pick
a standard one. 

This should then be entered so the user doesn't have to type it exactly
every time the application is started.

Will consider something like this for the next version, didn't make it into 
1.1.1.
Might set this up as an option under the Preferences menu.

If you have a rooted phone, this can be accomplished by putting for example 
    OPTIONS=name:Steve
in /data/data/com.nethackff/nethackdir/.nethackrc

The new version 1.2.1 lets you access the NetHack.cnf file. From the Menu, 
select Export Config, then edit it on the SD card from your PC (something like 
the OPTIONS=name:Steve suggested by jdhedden), and use Import Config. A bit 
clunky, but should work OK as long as you don't have a need to change name 
often.
