Let\'s suppose this is the package name: package com.company.name. How do I change company?

P.S. I saw how to change name but

Answer 1

In Android Studio, you can do like this:

For example, if you want to change com.example.app to iu.awesome.game, then:

1. In your Project pane, click on the little gear icon ( )
2. Uncheck / De-select the Compact Empty Middle Packages option
3. Your package directory will now be broken up in individual directories

4. Individually select each directory you want to rename, and:

   • Right-click it

   • Select Refactor

   • Click on Rename

   • In the Pop-up dialog, click on Rename Package instead of Rename Directory

   • Enter the new name and hit Refactor

   • Click Do Refactor in the bottom

   • Allow a minute to let Android Studio update all changes

   • Note: When renaming com in Android Studio, it might give a warning. In such case, select Rename All

     5. Now open your Gradle Build File (build.gradle - Usually app or mobile). Update the applicationId in the defaultConfig to your new Package Name and Sync Gradle, if it hasn't already been updated automatically:

     6. You may need to change the package= attribute in your manifest.

     7. Clean and Rebuild.

     8. Done! Anyway, Android Studio needs to make this process a little simpler.

Answer 2

If your company domain / package name is very long, it is more tricky.

This was the missing link for me. You need to select Project files -> settings -> then uncheck 'compact empty middle classes.

I also faced same problem & here is how I solved :-

I want to change package name np.com.shivakrstha.userlog to np.edu.khec.userlog

I selected shivakrstha and I pressed Shift + F6 for Rename Refract and renamed to khec.

Finally, use the same package name in AndroidManifest.xml, applicationId in build.gradle and don't forget to Rebuild Your Project.

Note:- I tried to change np to jp, so I selected np and I pressed Shift + F6 for Rename Refract and renamed to jp, it's ok to change others too.

Answer 4

I have not changed any package name. The following two steps worked for me. After doing the following, the application was installed as a NEW one , eventhough there was two applications with the same package name.

1) In the build.gradle

applicationId "mynew.mynewpackage.com"

2) In the AndroidManifest.xml android:authorities="mynew.mynewpackage.com.fileprovider"
