After package name change the project still uses old package name for launching the application

Question

I changed the package name of android application recently.

The package name of the changed project is correct.

I used this approach for package name changing.

I made sure the package-name change is the recent one in Manifest.

But while launching the application it uses old package name other than that everything is ok.

I tired restarting the android studio and my machine.Nothing works.

Here is the error message I got

Starting: Intent { act=android.intent.action.MAIN cat=[android.intent.category.LAUNCHER] cmp=com.test.old/com1.test1.new.LoginActivity } Error type 3 Error: Activity class {com.test.old/com1.test1.new.LoginActivity} does not exist.

In my case there was no package name there.so I added it and it works. — Durai Amuthan.H, May 20 '15 at 14:29

I set the new package name as value to applicationId key in the build.gradle and it solved my problem

Build.gradle

 defaultConfig {
        applicationId "com1.test1.new"
        minSdkVersion 14
        targetSdkVersion 22
    }

I did not have the applicationId set in the build.gradle, so I am assuming that Android Studio was using a default. But setting the value fixed as stated in this answer. – James A Wilson Jun 25 '17 at 14:48
