Rename package in Android Studio


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.


Solution

  • In Android Studio, you can do this:

    For example, if you want to change com.example.app to my.awesome.game, then:

    1. In your Project panel, click on the little gear icon ( Gears icon )

    2. Uncheck the Compact Empty Middle Packages option

      Compact Empty Middle Packages

    3. Your package directory will now be broken down into individual directories

    4. Individually select each directory you want to rename, and:

    1. 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:

      Refactor Directories

    2. You may need to change the package= attribute in your manifest.

    3. Clean and Rebuild.

    4. Done! Anyway, Android Studio needs to make this process a little simpler.
