Can we change this to something more in line with our developer name or is it required to be listed that way in order for the server to communicate with the app? (I.e. com.mydevelopername.android) Thanks, Todd Title Comments I have downloaded the code and notice that the Project package name is an undecipherable string of numerical values.

You will need to change the name of it in every instance its called on in the code, manifest, and in the SRC folder. You can try a search/replace of package name.

You can change it in eclipse, but you need to change all instances. Comments That couldn't be more wrong. I have done it multiple times and never had problems.

duncanto Android Fan Posts: 3 Reg: Feb 18, 2012 Portland, OR 30	03/10/12 10:18 PM (13 years ago) Andy, Thanks for the confirmation. I'll just use the Refactor on the package and update all instances. I took a look at the app done by Ninkasi Brewery and their package name was updated and they are currently using v1.4 so we have a double confirmation. Maybe their server only requires the "app_name" string in order for the communication to take place. I'm sure i'll discover as I begin to check this out more.

Yes, it looks as though you can modify the Package name and all instances of it in code... just don't touch the "config.txt" as it appears the "appGuid" variable is what is required to communicate with the BuzzTouch servers.

Please advise how this was done. I tried using the Android Tools and the result was just errors.
