changed package name, now AndroidManifest.xml doesn't work

Question

So, I tried to change the package by the following steps I found elsewhere on StackOverflow website:

1. create a new package
2. refractor the package to the new package
3. changing the package line in the form for the AndroidManifest.xml btw I'm using Eclipse, if that's relevant.

However, I'm getting an error message in the AndroidManifext.xml file:

Parser exception for /GameProj/AndroidManifest.xml: The prefix "com.p.gameproj.Dataid" for attribute "com.p.gameproj.Dataid:name" associated with an element type "activity" is not bound At line 31. 

Can someone tell me what the error message means?

Also, here's the AndroidManifest.xml file, if it's relevant:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>

    package="com.p.gameproj"

Looks like something went wrong during your package name change. Probably a bad find/replace action. There are a several invalid attributes and elements in the AndroidManifest.xml file such as the following:

<activity
    com.p.gameproj.Dataid:name=".Data"
    android:label="@string/title_activity_data" >

Notice the com.p.gameproj.Dataid:name=".Data" . It should be android:name=".Data" .

Once you fix all these bad values it should work again.

This should be close
