如何更改包名称，不蚀

Question

I want to change the package name com.blah.blah to something different, but I don't want to use eclipse because it says I have errors when I don't, and doesn't build.

I was checking to do it using APKtool, by changing the manifest.xml, and the package values in each smalis. I looked if there was any more, and there wasn't.

It may sound foolish, but I really need it, because this app I want to run two copies of the same app. I've seen people doing this with apps that are blocked often, such as gameguardian and gamecih (Memory Hacking programs).

Thanks!

BY THE WAY: this question hasn't been asked before as long as i'm concerned, and most of the similar ones required using eclipse.

Answer 1

If i am not mistaken you can do it by:

Workspace>Project>.project

Change the name in content.

Answer 2

Changing the package name of an application you will have to:

• Modify the package name in the manifest

• Change the packages of all your Activities, Services and BroadcastReceivers you have declared in your manifest without specifying their fully qualified names. that is:

  <activity android:name=".LoginActivity">

  Must have its package changed, whilst:

  <activity android:name="com.example.LoginActivity">

  Can stay with the initial package.

• I recommend also to change the application name, so that you will be able to distinguish between the two applications while using the application as Android user.

NOTE : Note that if you change the package of all the classes included in the application project structure all together you risk you might change the packages of some objects that would require further modification in the code. Eg if you change the package of custom widget you will need to change the hardcoded package in the xml files that refer to it also.
