I was going to upload my apk in google developers console, but I got an error message "change package name an upload again" as I was rejected for the same once. So I followed the following step: 1: Goto android manifest file--> Change package name to "com.example" 2: So many errors were there in src folder. 3: So going to src folder I changed the name of that particular folder("com.example1") to some ("com.example2") then all errors are gone! 4: But while launching the apk in the phone, I am getting something like this all the time--> "Unfortunately App name has stopped" Can you please help me out with this? Or any other way to change the package name/id in buzztouch itself? Thanks

I think this is the answer to your question : http://stackoverflow.com/questions/14643946/changing-app-name-in-eclipse In buzztouch, under core properties you can change the app name or the project name. You can then download the project and recompile in eclipse. Good luck, Alan

Hi @Shubhojit, Meant to answer your email last night, and then lost track of time. The easiest way to deal with this is the way Alan suggests. Go into your Core Properties section for that app, change the Project Name (Not the App Name...that's just for display), and then download the package again. This will change the package name (like com.yourapp) and all the associated files that have those references...and there are a lot. Hope that helps! Mark

However, once you succeed in publishing your app in the Play store, you must use one and the same package name, otherwise you will not be able to upload new versions of the same app.

@mark : changing name at core properties did not do a lot. Another process --> Right click on the project -> Android Tools -> Rename Application package worked with mine. will catch you up again :) Thanks again

@alan: Thanks AlanMac, that helped!

@dusko: It's not yet published, although thanks for your suggestion. Will keep that in mind.

if you change the Package name this way: Right click on the project -> Android Tools -> Rename Application package and than you make changes in the control panel, will the app update with no issue?

It might. But doing it the other way guarantees that it will. Mark

i don't really understand your comment, if i do: Right click on the project -> Android Tools -> Rename Application package i might have issue, if i change the Core Properties, change the Project Name it's guaranteed i will have issues. is this your meaning?

Sorry. If you change the package name via the BT control panel, download the new source package, and compile, you won't have any issues. Changing the package name the other method is likely to introduce some issues. Mark

ok thanks, now it's clear, but this way i cannot change the com. to something else right? it must be com.whatever.iwant, it cannot be it.whatever.iwant

Not via the control panel. By default, it creates everything as com.whatever. That's a good feature request though. It's actually never come up before! Mark

>That's a good feature request though. Not really. The only thing that Google insists on is that your package name is unique in the Play Store. You may call it whatever you want, as long as it is unique. There are several types of names on the Internet that are unique, email addresses and domain names amongst them. If the domain name is unique, then the reverse domain name will be "even more unique", hence the idea to start all package names with com., simulating the reverse name of the most popular top level domain type.

i wanted to do it "it.domain.appname" to have my own reverse domain

Agreed, but what I think he's suggesting is that it.xxx replace com.xxx to indicate that it's an Italian company, as opposed to a generic dot com. From an end user perspective, they'll never know. But, if a company wanted to use it.xxx or whatever, then it would be a good option. At the moment, BT defaults to com. It's pretty much personal preference. Mark

Comment removed,

@GoNorthWest It's been a while, i'm trying to do the it.xxx in the new Android studio, i managed to find it in Build, Edit Flavors... Application id, but it sill will not change it, would you mind having a look at it? Thanks.
