  • please see the answer of below link http://stackoverflow.com/questions/4025369/how-to-change-package-name-of-an-android-application its better to search for your problems their are many questions already asked for this issue. – ShujatAli Jun 06 '14 at 15:02
  • Change the name of package on the IDE, compile, uninstall your app and after install. – Lucas Santos Jun 06 '14 at 15:15
  • The folder name under /data/data is the fully qualified package name. If you want to change it then change your package name as others have suggested. Make sure you've uninstalled the old version of the app first though - doing that will delete the current /data/data package folder. – Squonk Jun 06 '14 at 15:28
  • @user3714486 Every answer and comment on this question have correct methods of doing what you need to do. Please follow the directions and you will be pleasantly surprised - I am under the impression you are confused about exactly what the folder name is. To reiterate again, it is the package name, as stated above in the comments and below in answers. – krodmannix Jun 06 '14 at 15:37

Android studio

Here is the good answer.

  1. First make sure you are viewing the project in Android view.

  2. Now click on setting gear icon and deselect Compact Empty Middle Package

  3. refactor any folder.

To change application go to app gradle file and change applicationId.

Eclipse

  1. change package name in manifest

  2. go to src of your project and right click on package name,select refactor then rename package name.

This link should provide some knowledge on changing the package name: How to change package name of an Android Application

It seems fairly easy to do and just requires updating the Android Manifest.

EDIT:

From the same question, this seems like the most direct way, although it is not the accepted answer:

  • i need folder change sir.. not the name of the application :( – user3714486 Jun 06 '14 at 15:08
  • What do you mean folder? By changing the package name, the name of the application will not change. – krodmannix Jun 06 '14 at 15:20
  • Looking at your edit @user3714486 with the picture included, following the steps in this question will change that folder name. That is the package name, which is a collection of all your project files – krodmannix Jun 06 '14 at 15:21
