    }

I this code package name change but not reflect in all .java file.please tell me how to change in all .java classes.

It's not difficult to change package names with the IDE. It's called refactoring. Rightclick on your package ->Refactor->Rename. — davidgiga1993, Jul 10 '15 at 05:02
Was just a hint. Gradle itself can't do refactoring. You'll need to use text replacement just as you already did with your manifest file, but for all *.java files in your project. — davidgiga1993, Jul 10 '15 at 05:14
thats my question how to reflect package name in *.java files.i cant understand. — nitin, Jul 10 '15 at 05:35

If you need to change the package name often and in multiple projects. I recommend the plugin "Android Package Renamer", it's available on the Android Studio plugin market and Intellij IDEA. All you need to do is download it and use it. It works well on many different types of projects.

Usage

Open Your Project.
Click -> File -> Rename Package
Input the Package you want to change.
Click Ok.
Sync Project with Gradle Files or Invalidate Caches

You can see my detailed answer here or head over to the github repo for a closer look at the instructions.
