Android project R.java file

Question

My question is if there is already a way to automate the creation of an app? For example a script that changes the package name in all necessary places? If that isn't possible I want to ask if there is a way to change the location of the generated R.java file?

Answer 1

You can't change the location of R.java file.

This is how you can rename your package name to all the places at one go.

1. Go to AndroidManifest.xml .

2. Put your cursor in the package name (don't select it).

3. Press shift+F6 , you will get a popup window, select Rename package.

4. Enter your new name and select Refactor.

Update: This is how you can rename the package name using an ant build, a ref to SO post
