How to change package name in Android Application?
In Android Studio, you can do this:
For example, if you want to change com.example.app to my.awesome.game, then:
- In your Project pane, click on the little gear icon (
) - Uncheck / De-select the
Compact Empty Middle Packagesoption
- Your package directory will now be broken up in individual directories
- 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 Packageinstead 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
comin Android Studio, it might give a warning. In such case, select Rename All

- Now open your Gradle Build File (
build.gradle- Usuallyappormobile). Update theapplicationIdin thedefaultConfigto your new Package Name and Sync Gradle, if it hasn't already been updated automatically:
- You may need to change the
package=attribute in your manifest. - Clean and Rebuild.
- Done! Anyway, Android Studio needs to make this process a little simpler.
