I want to remove the middle part from the package name.
Ex: com.example.app to com.app
I have tried few things but not able to remove the middle part of the package name without errors.
I think that the only you can achieve that is this:
Press Ctrl+Shift+R, set Text to find to com.example.app, Replace with to com.app and hit Find, All Files.
After that open the directory com in file manager, move app up in hierarchy, so it becomes com/app and remove example directory.
There is a much better way to do this. com.example.app >> com.app
In Android Studio,
1) Open your project pane (tab on left top) select Android option.
2) In the same pane click on the gear icon and uncheck "Compact Entity Middle Packages".
3) Expand your package hierarchy in Project pane.
4) Now drag the package app (the one you want to move) on the package com (where you want to move).
5) You will see a red boundary around the com package now drop package app.
6) A popup should appear select "Move package", next enter com package path, next select do refactor.
Done!!
Please note, different Studio versions have different options but drag and drop method remains the same
Android Studio indirectly (but easily) supports this requirement;
e.g. Change java.X.Y.myPrecious to java.myPrecious [assume packages X and Y are empty]
(a) Select Android from dropdown heading in Project window.
(b) Using the 'gear/cog' tool uncheck Compact Empty Middle packages
(c) Drag myPrecious to java (be patient if necessary)
(d) Right-click/Delete X
(e) Clean and Rebuild the project making any obvious changes to the Manifest if necessary.
click on Setting,in setting click compack Empty middle package
then click on your package :-> Refactor->Rename ->ok
-if you package is not devided into more then 3 sub directories best way is to just rename them. Refector -> Rename -> done.
-But when you what to remove the empty one you shoud set structure to
android-> compact middle package -> now move you files to the desired folder
-> remove the empty ones now -> Done
Click with right button in your packet and find REFACTOR.Inside It you have the option Rename and after clicking a window will appear to confirm you with warnings.
Try it!
Basically, You need to move the entire below files to precedent package.
Suppose..
Package: com.app.example.food
if you want to delete example from package.
Move com.app.example."food" directory to com."app" directory directly
Done.

I would like to rename my application package from com.hfad.prevencija to com.aaaa.prevencija. How o achieve that?
In below screenshot, Suppose I want to change mygdx to someother name.
Click on setting button which is showing in the corner of the screenshot and uncheck Compact Middle Packages
Select mygdx and Refactor -> Rename -> Rename package -> Enter your desired name.
Changed name will reflect in your AndroidManifest file, cross check once also check changes in build.gradle file
I am importing an Android application in Eclipse as a Gradle build. The application is build and runs fine. When I try to see the layouts defined in XML I can, but when I switch over to the Graphical Layout I get
The project target is not set. Right click project, choose Properties | Android.
What I did:
Right click Project->Properties to find the Android tab but is not there.(*see picture 3)
On the Graphical Layout there is a switch that is supposed to be pointing to the latest API available. Instead it says: Null(*see first picture)
When I try to change it I get Resource ...... does not exist prompts (*see second picture).
How can I open the XML layouts in the Graphical Layout?
please check whether set SDK location.as follows:
Eclipse -> Preferences -> Android
LEFT click (not Right) and select Android worked for me.
I'm wondering if anyone knows how to open two windows of Android Studio with both having the same project. I know you can drag tabs out, but that allows you to only edit that one file. I want two fully-featured windows with each being able to see the Project Files/Structure.
I don't want to just split the editor, I want a separate window.
I want two of these windows, with both "looking" at the same project:
I don't want another one of these windows, as I can't view the project structure and change that, and it's hard to change it to a different file in this view:
Right click on tab of the file and click "Split vertical / Horizontal"
After splitting, you can just drag one of the tab titles to the second monitor - it will open up a new window. You can then edit the same file in two separate windows
If you click and drag a file's tab out of your current window (over onto the desktop, for example), the file will open in a new window. However, this window doesn't seem to have the whole package explorer, console etc.
Although, if you click on the gear on any of the modules, you can uncheck 'pinned' mode and you'll be free to move them around your two monitors just like the window you created above.
Window -> Editor Tabs -> Split Vertically
if you don't use files tabs
If you want to split tabs of android studio project beetween monitors, you can rigthclick to tab(project, debug, terminal etc) and check the "floating mode" option.
See the image: Floating mode tab option
After that you can drag this tab between your monitors as new window.
Could you just make a copy of android studio & run it side / side? You can run different versions of android studio side/side.. Maybe that is an option.
Just drag the tab outside the current window.
right click on tab and click on windowed mode, it will open up a new window.
One hacky way of doing this (but you will not be able to save in the same project) is to make a copy of the project folder and open it in Android Studio.
I have a question about the hierarchical view of eclipse. With some projects my com.example.test packages suddenly split where normally it would be on one line instead of three. It looks like this:
Does anybody know why this happens?
How can I get the com.example.test on one line again?
Edit:
I want the package presentation to be hierarchical, I only want the com.example.test back on one line.
I finally found the answer. It isn't folding because on mac there are hidden files (.DS_Store) and eclipse doesn't ignore these files, so the folders are not empty.
To fix this you have to exclude the DS_Store out of your project:
Right click, Properties
Expand Resource and click onto Resource Filters
Click "Add"
Use these settings Filter type: Exclude all.
Applies to: Files
Click "All children (recursive)"
File and folder attributes: Name matches .DS_Store
If you have done this, your project will have normal hierarchal view with com.example.test.
Found the solution at: http://twigstechtips.blogspot.nl/2012/10/eclipse-ignore-certain-files-in-project.html
Tip: Use Android Studio, it works so much better!
In the Package Explorer "View Menu" (the down arrow), select "Package Presentation" > "Flat".
I have installed Eclipse Indigo and the auto-complete feature is working normally in the Java editor.. the problem is in the XML editor, when I press CTRL+Space, nothing of the suggestions comes out.
Why is this?
I had faced the same problem. I was trying to solve using
sample.xml layout file -> Right click on it -> Open With -> Android Layout Editor
But no luck. Then I was trying another way
Select Project (say Myproject) from Package Explorer
Right click on the Myproject
Select Properties from popup
Select Java Build Path from left panel
Select Source from right tab
Select Myproject/gen
Click on Remove button
Repeat step 6 and 7 for Myproject/src
Press on OK button
Click on Add Folder..
Add the Myproject/gen and Myproject/src
OK again OK
It solved the problem.
Find your XML file in Package Explorer and right click on it. Select Open With -> Android Layout Editor (or select appropriate option from other options available in sub menu). Bingo! Auto-complete/content assist should start working.
