I know how to change the package name, suppose from com.example.abc to com.xyz.abc but here in my project the package name is com.abc and I want to change it to com.xyz.abc. How can I do that on Android Studio? Could someone help me with it?
This question is not a duplicate of another post that was linked to it as in my case there is no middle name.
My question differs from the other questions that were linked to my post, in my case there is no middle name. Anyways, I have already fixed the issue.
Create a package xyz under com folder. Then Move all the directory which is inside com folder to xyz folder.
Rename xyz to abc. You will have com.abc.abc. Refactor > Move all files from child abc to parent abc folder. Finally, delete child abc folder.

how to change my project name becouse I want it to Appare on mobile under the logo when its run the problem is I want to chane the name in to an Arabic name on android studio ?? it will not accapet
error massge invald pakage name :(
thank you
You will need to create a folder in the res/ folder with values-ar/ folder and create a string.xml in the value-ar/ folder and have the arabic names in this strings.xml file
You can refer to http://developer.android.com/guide/topics/resources/providing-resources.html
I believe it has something to do with me importing a project of the same name (working from different computers), but I really don't know. Within the bin folder of my project is another res folder, containing AndroidManifest, classes.dex, jarlist.cache, R.txt, resource.ap_ and the apk of my application.
Incidentally, or not, when trying to update my application icon, it only worked when changing the manifest in this version as well.
One of the res folder is auto generated. To check which one is auto generated, click on the res folder and press Alt + Enter. Then select resource on left side of the pop up and on the right side, you will see the location. If it's
YourProject\res
then it's your original res file and if it's
YourProject\bin\res
then it's the auto generated res file.
I'm trying to change my package name in eclipse, i have tried everything, my last try was to change it from android tools-> rename application package but that didn't seem to change the package in the code files itself, i have more than one package in my app, so i selected the first one and pressed F2 then i typed in the same package name and it changed in the files, but when i selected the second package and pressed F2 i didn't want to change, it says package already exists ! i'm just wondering how the app name and package is read on Google play, is it from manifest file only ?
You have to right click on the package > Refacor > Rename

If you are using eclipse,
3 steps:
1) change in manifest
2) select project in navigator and press clt+h. Search from string
import xxx.en.R; In search tab you will get full list of string matches.
3) Right click any of the match and select replace all , enter the replace text as "import xxx.zh.R;"
Hit enter and its done.
You can try by: right click on your project > Android Tools > Rename Application Package. I think this link is useful for you: How to change package name of an Android Application
In the manifest file, instead of the old package name, put the new package name at every location
Your classes may need direct package name references like activity android:name="com.abc.Myactivity".
Right click the package name inside the project. Select Refactor>Rename and type the desired new package name. select "update references".
Change the layout xml files with the new package name
It is very easy
Just click on package which you want to change name than press F2 key it will show warning than press ok than rename package.
com.*.**
after press F2
Com.####.*
I created a wonderful app, but I want to rename the "application name" alone... (i.e the name seen by the user on the app icon ) .. ( this isn't package renaming)
How do I do it, without creating a new one ...
In the strings.xml file, there is an element app_name which is used in the AndroidManifest's application element as the app's name. Just change the value of app_name in the strings.xml file to change the name of your app.
You don't need to refactor to change the name that people see. That is set in your res->values->Strings.xml file. You can call it what you want.
you can try Refactor -> rename.
