This page will help you to change the package name from com.itsanubhav.wordroid3 to whatever you want.

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

  1. Uncheck / De-select the Compact Empty Middle Packages option

  1. Your package directory will now be broken up in individual directories

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

    • Right-click 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

  1. Now open your Gradle Build File (build.gradle - Usually app ). Update the applicationId to your new Package Name and Sync Gradle, if it hasn't already been updated automatically:

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

  2. Clean and Rebuild.

  3. Done!
