Can't remove package 'com.example' from application


When I tried to upload my app to the android play store I got an error message which is "You need to use a different package name because "com.example" is restricted". So I went to eclipse and looked for packages named com.example.

These are the contents of the only two folders with packages:

/ src
    myapp.mainclass
/ gen
    com.example.myapp *
    myapp.mainclass

*com.example.myapp seems to be the reason I'm getting the error message, it's identical to myapp.mainclass. However I cannot delete it or re factor it, every time I remove it it's auto-generated again so there is no way I can upload the app to the Play Store, since com.example is impossible to remove.

Anyone encountered this issue or has any ideas on how to upload the app?


Solution

  • After renaming your package in src folder, rename it also in the AndroidManifest.xml with the same name.
