I have done login and registration activity using rest API. But in login I used only Mobile number editext. And in registration I used password. So I want to use that password in login. Means user should enter that password while he used during registraton. So how to do that?

If you're going to store passwords, make sure you store them in EncryptedSharedPreferences. You do not have to encrypt them manually as the library will take care of it.
If you need/want more explanation on this and how it works, check out some articles about it on the web - there are plenty.

If your using Kotlin, saving password in Shared Preferences could look like this:
Initialize Shared Preferences:
var prefs: SharedPreferences prefs = getSharedPreferences("name_of_your_file", Context.MODE_PRIVATE) Save password to it:
with (prefs.edit()) { putString("password", etPasword.text) apply() } If you want to access this stored password, you can do it like this:
val password = prefs.getString("password", "default_value")

Always store the credentials as hashes. Here I found implementation of SHA256. You can create your own hash function too. Also I would highly recommend to use encrypted share preferences to store the credentials. I found a good example implementation.
