Rename package in Android Studio
(55 answers)
Closed 7 years ago.
I have made an app and it is my very first app so when I started coding, I left the package name as com.example.stuff and now when I try to upload to the play store it wont let me due to the package name. I have tried refactor-> rename the package name and changed it in the AndroidManifst.xml then I tried to upload again. I am once again left with the same message time after time.
I appreciate any help and thanks in advance. :)
First click once on your package and then click setting icon on Android Studio.
Close/Unselect Compact Empty Middle Packages
Then, right click your package and rename it.
Thats all.
In projects that use the Gradle build system, what you want to change is the applicationId in the build.gradle file. The build system uses this value to override anything specified by hand in the manifest file when it does the manifest merge and build.
For example, your module's build.gradle file looks something like this:
apply plugin: 'com.android.application'
android {
compileSdkVersion 20
buildToolsVersion "20.0.0"
defaultConfig {
// CHANGE THE APPLICATION ID BELOW
applicationId "com.example.fred.myapplication"
minSdkVersion 10
targetSdkVersion 20
versionCode 1
versionName "1.0"
}
}
applicationId is the name the build system uses for the property that eventually gets written to the package attribute of the manifest tag in the manifest file. It was renamed to prevent confusion with the Java package name (which you have also tried to modify), which has nothing to do with it.
It can be done very easily in one step.
You don't have to touch AndroidManifest.
Instead do the following:
right click on the root folder of your project.
Click "Open Module Setting".
Go to the Flavours tab.
Change the applicationID to whatever package name you want. Press OK.

For my app to be accepted on the play store, I have had to rename my app.
I have changed the applicationId in build.gradle
defaultConfig {
applicationId "com.tcapp" // from
applicationId "com.rg.tcapp" // to
When I run react-native run-android I get the error:
Error type 3
Error: Activity class {com.tcapp/com.tcapp.MainActivity} does not exist.
What other files do I need to change to rename my app and get it running?
If you want to rename an application, you can use react-native-rename to do it
I've recently changed my package name in react native due to which the entire folder structure needed to be changed in android. react-native-rename didnt help me, but i've followed the steps of the verified answer of the below link, please do check that out, it will help you. Follow all those steps. Rename android package and application name
lets say i have a published app with package name com.test.app. I want to replace it with an updated app with the package name com.test.app.v3. In android studio, how to I change the updated apps package structure so that all the java code currently in the v3 directory will be placed into the app directory. I know I can manually do it but is their a quick way to do it in android studio.
In Android Studio, You can't change package name quickly.
1.You should change the package name in build.gradle(Module:app)
defaultConfig {
applicationId "com.test.app.v3"
minSdkVersion 11 // change the values as you want
targetSdkVersion 23
versionCode 2
versionName "1.1"
}
2.Also change the Package name in AndroidMAnifest.xml
<manifest xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
package="com.test.app.v3">
3.You must change the package name in all java files.
package com.test.app.v3;
Hope this helps.
Happy Coding :)
I've recently just imported my eclipse project into Android Studio, I haven't convert it into gradle yet. So some forum that offers me solution from gradle is not working. My problem is I have 2 application, where both has some slight difference. I want to use the same project when I deploy the application. I've tried to change the project name but that doesn't help. The moment the new application is installed, the previous version is overwritten. I thought of making some changes to the Manifest file(not sure if this is the right thing to do) but in android studio, I can't seem to locate where the file is. Please help.

Your application needs to have a different package name for it to be treated as a different app.
So instead of
com.yourcompany.apps.yourapp
You write
com.yourcompany.apps.yourapp1 and
com.yourcompany.apps.yourapp2
You can do that in your AndroidManifest.XML in the manifest tag
package="com.yourcompany.apps.yourapp1"
Also, instead of 2 separate apps, try seeing if you can solve this using Build variants and product flavors.
Use flavors on your build.gradle
productFlavors {
flavorName {
minSdkVersion 19
applicationId 'you.package.name'
targetSdkVersion 23
versionCode 1
versionName 'version_name'
}
}
Also you can modify a file with different changes by just adding a source folder for the flavor.
app
|--src
|--main
|--flavorName
I am aware that this question is asked several times in SO. I have checked below answers posted but doesn't work for me :(

Currently, my application's package name is "com.example.test".I want to change this to "com.example.test.test1".So, I just changed the package name in my manifest file and build the app.
Now ,if I run both the applications seperately with above package names changed from manifest files into device than it should show me different applications.It shows me error as "Failure [INSTALL_FAILED_CONFLICTING_PROVIDER]"
As the package names are different, it should show me different applications in the device instead of overriding one app with other.Help me out.
Any help would be appreciated.Thanks
The packageName attribute is deprecated as of Android Studio V0.0.6 onward. To change the package name of the application, use applicationId instead. Check the release notes here.
Change the applicationId and sync gradle.
If your aim is to have the same application at two instance in the device, it is so easy to do using gradle. You don't need to change package name in the Manifest file, gradle will handle that during the build process for you and do all package renaming under the hood wherever required.
In order to achieve that you need to write a new product flavor for your app inside the main app module's build.gradle file with a different application id(package name). Eg. if com.example.test is your default package name of the app. You can have a different flavor of the same app with a different package name or knows as application id. produltFlavours can be defined inside android tag of your main module's build.gradle file like as shows below.
productFlavors {
app1 {
applicationId "com.example.test.test1"
}
}
Sync your project after making the changes. Now select the build variant from Build Variant tab in left hand panel and hit run. Gradle script will handle all package renaming for you.
Check this once for more details :
Android Gradle Build Variant Deploy
What worked for me:
1. Right click package you want to change under java folder|
2. Refactor -> Rename|
3. Rename the package -> press "enter" -> press "Do Refactor"|
4. This updates all the files including the manifest
I am trying to upload my finished android app to the android market and I am getting this error:
You need to use a different package name because "com.example" is restricted.
In Android Studio after renaming Package then go "build.gradle (Module:App)
defaultConfig {
applicationId "com.example.android.abc"
minSdkVersion 9
targetSdkVersion 22
versionCode 1
versionName "1.0"
}
change the line
applicationId "com.example.android.abc"
to
applicationId "com.tanxe.android.abc"
relpace "tanxe" with the word you want or your Organization name i.e.
your new package name
and rebuild the project
The best way to solve this is by going to the AndroidManifest.xml: package="com.example.android.yts"
Cursor on example
press
Shift+f6
change Package name eg. example to boss
Click on refactor now `"com.boss.android.yts"``
2nd thing
open build.gradle (module:app) change applicationId "com.example.android.yts"
to "com.boss.android.yts"
The error message is telling it all. You need to use a package name of your own. The package name is the identitiy of the application.
To rename the package name, In eclipse right click on the project in project explorer. Then Android Tools > rename Aplication Package name. Then enter the new package name.
Also make sure that you are trying to upload a release build
Yes, com.example is the default package name for Android applications and is, as such, just a placeholder. You should replace it by a unique package name before uploading it to the Google Play Store. It doesn't particularly matter what it is, but it should relate to your application, cannot match any existing package name (so picking someone else's package name like com.android is not a good idea), and cannot be changed after publishing.
Double-tap **package** from AndroidManifest.xml, refactor-> rename.
Go to build.gradle and change applicationId under defaultConfig.
If you have google-services.json, go to google-services.json and rename package_name in two places.
That should work.
Write something else than the com.example
for ex:
com.gg.s etc will do(make that onj your name/firm name)
