Android - how to change the name of the app when it appears on peoples downloaded app lists

Question

How do I change the name of the app as it appears on the phone after the person has downloaded it and sees it browsing through their downloaded apps?

And how do I tell how the name is appearing for them now?

Thanks!

You cant change it dynamically. Once its compiled, then it will remain the same. However, you can provide different names for different locales.

In your android manifest you have: <application android:icon="@drawable/app_icon" android:label="@string/app_name" > Under res/values/strings.xml of your project you can change: <string name="app_name">My title</string>
