A loop is how you do it.  However, you should _not_ assign to a String
reference each time through the loop, as this will create lots of unneeded
String objects.  Instead, use a StringBuffer.  To be even more
performance-oriented, don't access the length field every time through, and
try to preallocate the buffer capacity.  Putting that all together:

StringBuffer buf = new StringBuffer(GOOD_GUESS_OF_SIZE);
int length = usernameArr.length;
for (int i = 0; i < length; i++)
{
  buf.append(usernameArr[i]);
}
username = buf.toString();
