I'm trying to run the in app billing sample code. I try to change the package name from com.example.dungeons to com.mydomain.dungeons. I change the package name by right clicking on the project name, then Android Tools ==> Rename Application Package. After I enter the new package name, I get a bunch of warnings because it adds an import to every class file like so:
import com.mydomain.dungeons.R;
What does this line mean? Also, I notice the package declaration for each class is still:
package com.example.dungeons
You just told the Android tools that your package changed. This caused the ADT to re-generate the R class with the new package declaration and changed the package in AndroidManifest.xml; it also updated all references to the R class in your code for you.
You still have to actually rename the package declarations in your code, preferably by using an Eclipse refactoring (right click on the package, etc.).
eclipse import your ID of elements.
and you have standard android elements(layout, Widgets etc)

eclipse create R file, when you you clean project (project>clean)

How can I change the entire package path in Android Studio, so that also the import statements within Java classes and xml files will be changed automatically.
I know there are threads already posted about this topic, but whenever I change package path, I have to adapt all import statements by hand. And it's much work when there are over 100 classes :(
If you want to move your Java classes to different package, in Android Studio you can right click on package name and then select Refactor->Move.
I am trying to get my app ready for alpha testing and am struggling to rename my project packages - as it would appear that com.android is a restricted package name - however when following the instructions outlined here I get the following message: - I'm...not sure what to do here as this window differs from what is given in the instructions. Has anyone encountered this and is able to help me?
I found the trick/method for changing project package name after wasting $12 on the fiverr. This method works for me in Android Studio 4.0.
You just need to change this line only in build.gradle(app level).
applicationId "codetrix.cleaner"
Just change the text in " " quotes. Your new package will be your updated text.
If you want to change your package name, please follow below steps:
Change your package name in AndroidManifest.xml:
package="your_new_package_name"
Rebuild project, you have to fix many import of R file.
Change the package name of java by Right click -> Refactor -> Rename on the package. This is an optional step, #1 and #2 should change your package name already.
Renaming from com.example.test to org.example.test: I have only found examples of changing the example part of this, but I need to change the com one.
I have tried Refactor then select Rename package, but I get the message Not a valid identifier name when I enter org.example.test.
Does anyone know the correct way?
The accepted solution did not work for me. I had to do the following:
Create a new package with the desired name (eg. org.example.test)
Move the files from the old package to the new one [android studio correct the package name automatically]
In AndroidManifest.xml, change package="..." to the new one (eg. org.example.test) [maybe this step is not obligatory]
Compile. You will see errors like imports to the old package. Simply correct them one by one [I just found one error]
That's all. It run perfectly after that!
I've had to do the same a few months ago. As far as I know, Android Studio does not bound java packages with the app package. That said, you may have to change your app package (if that's what you want) and your java package.
First, your Java package
Select the 1. Project tab in Android Studio. There's a Settings button. Click on it and check Flatten Packages.
Then, select the package you want to rename. Press Shift + F6 to rename the whole package. If you have more than one package inside com.example.test, Android Studio will warn you "Multiple directories correspond to package..." and ask if you want to rename package or directory. Choose package and it will do its magic.
Unless you have something else other than test under com.example, you're good to go.
Then, your Android app
For this one, I don't know any shortcuts. But if it helps, the app package is mentioned in AndroidManifest.xml and build.gradle for your module.
i tryed to start a new android project on ubuntu 13.04 but when i'm starting my project it gives me a compillation error.
the error is with the R library ("R cannot be resolved to a variable").
when i tries to import the import android.R it just give me another error.
any one maybe know what is my problem?
You normally shouldn't manually import R. If Organize Imports (ctrl-shift-o) causes it to be added to the list of imports, that often indicates an inconsistency between the package name used in the package statement at the top of your source file and the package name used in your AndroidManifest.xml file. Make sure those two match.
I'm pretty new to android development, so I hope my question is easy, but not completely stupid. I'm using Eclipse to build an android application. It is based on the barcode-scanner of the ingenious guys from zxing. I already did quite some changes to the original code and everything works fine. But I still have the problem, that the original barcode-scanner and my app cannot run simultaneously on one mobile device. As far as I could find out, the problem is the package name. So I tried to change it to something else. But that srew up my entire project, because I can't access my resources anymore (e.g. findViewById(R.id.btDone); <-- R cannot be resolved to a variable).
Can anyone tell me what else I have to change to make my code work again?
This the beginning of my AndroidManifest.xml where I tried to change the package name:
<manifest
xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
package="com.google.zxing.client.android"
...
I also found an interesting entry in build.properties: (?!)
application-package=com.google.zxing.client.android
Thanks you guys!
This should do it: Right Click on project -> Android Tools -> Rename Application Package
Android - Package Name convention
The package refers to the file directory you made. If you still have problems, especially with android, sometimes doing project->clean and then rebuilding fixes some of the linking problems with resources
Assuming you choose to go with the new package name:
com.superscanner.android
And with the old package name being (for example):
com.google.zxing.client.android
Go through all the source code and change:
import com.google.zxing.client.android.R;
To:
import com.superscanner.android.R;
You'll also have to rename all your directories to match your new package structure, and change your import and package statements throughout, but this should get you going.
