Change the package name in App details

Question

I am trying to change the name of a android application, and also its package name.

I am using Diawi to generate link of apk and test it on phone. I have changed the package name in manifest file, yet when I check the app details before installing apk file on mobile, it shows the previous name.

Can anyone tell me where to update the name of the application, so that it shows the new name in app details?

Do you mean app name or package name or application id? If you wish to change app name that users see, change the application android:label in the manifest. — Dewey Reed, May 18 '18 at 04:43
if you want change the name of project than do one thing in manifest file in application tag `android:label="ChangeYourAppNameHere"` — Hemant Parmar, May 18 '18 at 05:00

Change default config in your app level build.gradle as follows:

defaultConfig {
        ...
        applicationId <new-package-name>
        ...
}

Have been doing this. Not working. Should have, but not. Clean and rebuilt as well. Do you know why is that happening? – Parth Mittal May 18 '18 at 04:59
Just Invalidate cache and restart the studio – Sagar May 18 '18 at 05:10

In your app folder, you will find build.gradle, You can search for applicationId to change your package name

applicationId "your.app.id"

defaultConfig {
    applicationId "your.app.id"
    minSdkVersion 16
    targetSdkVersion 26
    versionCode 1
    versionName "1.0"
}

If you want change application name, Goto AndroidManifest.xml file and you can change it by renaming Application label

android:label="@string/app_name"

<manifest xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
 <application
    android:allowBackup="true"
    android:label="@string/app_name"
    android:icon="@drawable/ic_launcher"
    android:theme="@style/AppTheme">

  ....

 </application>

Hope this helps
