How do you rename packages in the new IDE Android Studio, based on IntelliJ IDEA?
Is there an automatic refactoring included?
I want to make bulk refactoring, but I don't know how. I worked two years with Eclipse and in Eclipse it's a one-click operation.
For example, if you want to change com.example.app
to my.awesome.game
, then:
In your Project panel, click on the little gear icon ( )
Uncheck the Compact Empty Middle Packages
option
Your package directory will now be broken down into individual directories
Individually select each directory you want to rename, and:
Right-click on it
Select Refactor
Click on Rename
In the pop-up dialog, click on Rename Package
instead of Rename Directory
Enter the new name and hit Refactor
Click Do Refactor in the bottom
Allow a minute to let Android Studio update all changes
Note: When renaming com
in Android Studio, it might give a warning. In such case, select Rename All
Now open your Gradle Build File (build.gradle
- Usually app
or mobile
). Update the applicationId
in the defaultConfig
to your new Package Name and Sync Gradle, if it hasn't already been updated automatically:
You may need to change the package=
attribute in your manifest.
Clean and Rebuild.
Done! Anyway, Android Studio needs to make this process a little simpler.
