Android - Change package name of live application

So now i am buiding my apk with older package name i.e.,'AnantApps.Moodlytics'. I also have made all required changes for that.

but after that when i try to run it on device, it gives me a console error like this.

[2013-10-22 11:26:03 - Moodlytics] Android Launch!

[2013-10-22 11:26:03 - Moodlytics] adb is running normally.

[2013-10-22 11:26:03 - Moodlytics] Performing Anantapps.Moodlytics.ui.ActivitySplashScreen activity launch

[2013-10-22 11:26:04 - Moodlytics] Automatic Target Mode: Unable to detect device compatibility. Please select a target device.

[2013-10-22 11:26:07 - Moodlytics] Uploading Moodlytics.apk onto device '4E4400F02B00CE54'

[2013-10-22 11:26:08 - Moodlytics] Installing Moodlytics.apk...

[2013-10-22 11:26:16 - Moodlytics] Installation error:

Moodlytics] Please check logcat output for more details. [2013-10-22

11:26:16 - Moodlytics] Launch canceled!

After that i made one apk file. but here also, it gives me an error while installing apk.

Parse Error : There was a problem parsing this package

I think this error is coming because of the capital package name. So now, i am in very much trouble. I can't change the package name to small letters and with capital letters the code is not working.

So help me guys. what should i do? How can i give un update to my already live application on Google Play which has 'capital letters' in package name?

  • Google play will not allow changes in package name, once you submitted in google play. – RajaReddy PolamReddy Oct 22 '13 at 06:27
  • Yes, you are right. but now i am not able to run code with the package name with Capital letters. 'Anantapps.Moodlytics'. (The Original one). SO what should I do now? – iRoid Solutions Oct 22 '13 at 06:30
  • Logcat only showed that one line of `Parse Error` only? – Lawrence Choy Oct 22 '13 at 06:31
  • In logcat i am getting this error : 10-22 12:11:56.224: W/ActivityManager(77): No content provider found for permission revoke: file:///data/local/tmp/Moodlytics.apk 10-22 12:11:56.244: W/PackageParser(77): /data/app/vmdl1786060596.tmp (at Binary XML file line #88): does not have valid android:name – iRoid Solutions Oct 22 '13 at 06:42

So finally i find solution. Hope it will help others who are facing this issue.

I ran project in Linux OS. In linux os, eclipse doesn't give any error for capitalised package name.

1.) I renamed package name with capital letters

2.) Then I imported appropriate R in java files. (in my case it is AnantApps.Moodlytics.R). (We can replace old R with new one easily by find/replace functionality of eclipse)

And thats it.

Main problem is that you need to have Ubuntu Linux OS for this.

Using Android Studio. U must change in manifest file like that

<uses-sdk android:minSdkVersion="14" />

and Also change In Gradle Script

Gradle Script->build.gradle(Module:app)
defaultConfig {
        applicationId "" >>//Your Package Name
        minSdkVersion 15 >>Here also give minsdkversion which is given in                        manifest file
        targetSdkVersion 21
        versionCode 1
        versionName "1.0"
    }
