I was following a youtube tutorial on changing my android studio project name, so that when I download it from Google Play it doesn't display the old app name. The video suggested Refactor--> Renaming the .IML file, and then going to Modules.xml and changing the values there. Now my project won't build and all my classes have a red "J" on them and they're all grayed out. Please help!!!

You should have a structure like this:

root
  .idea            //remove it
  mymodule
     mymodule.iml  //remove it
     build.gradle
     src
  project.iml      //remove it
  build.gradle
  settings.gradle

Follow these steps:

  • Remove the iml file in each module
  • Remove the .idea folder

Open the settings.gradle file and check if it is somenthing like:

   include ':mymodule'

where mymodule is the name of the folder which contains the module (build.gradle and code)

  • resync and rebuild the project

  • Each module meaning the module.xml file? Could you specify where I would find "each" module? Not super familiar with the inner workings of the IDE. I tried opening the module.xml file and removing the .IML references listed. Then deleted the .idea folder, then opened up settings.gradle and there was nothing in the file. So I added ':mymodule' to it, then it made a folder that now contains a 'mymodule.iml' but I've still got X's through my entire project... I'm screwed... – Professor_Membrane Oct 05 '15 at 21:48
  • @Professor_Membrane check the updated answer. Of course use your current name for the mymodule. – Gabriele Mariotti Oct 05 '15 at 22:16
