Android Refactor Package Name



Let's refactor code!With this package, you can rename the name of variables and functions easily.

Language Support

Sep 22, 2014 Android Studio would only let me refactor the last part of the package name (blogreader). At this point I think I'm going to try opening up the source code from the second to last step (I dont really need to support andy v2.3.3 for my use) in sublime text, change all package names and SDK versions. This short tutorial will show you how to change the package name in Android Studio. Here are the steps you need to follow: 1) Make sure you have Android sele. Another good method is: First create a new package with the desired name by right clicking on the Java folder → New → Package. Then, select and drag all your classes to the new package. Android Studio will refactor the package name everywhere. Finally, delete the old package.

Android

This package works with these language plugins.You can install using the preferences pane.

  • JavaScript: js-refactor with ES6+ support
  • CoffeeScript: coffee-refactor

Usage

  1. Set cursor to a symbol.
  2. Start renaming by using ctrl-alt-r.
  3. Type new name.
  4. Finish renaming by using enter or removing cursor from the focused symbol.

User Setting

  • Override keymap by using Atom > Open Your Keymap.

For example, you can override the shortcut to ctrl-alt-e

  • Override stylesheet by using Atom > Open Your Stylesheet.

API Documentation (for plugin developer)

package.json

Add refactor as engines in package.json.

Interface

You should implement Ripper class in main module.

  • Ripper.scopeNames []String : [Required] Array of scope name, like 'source.coffee', 'source.js' and all that.
  • Ripper#parse(code String, callback Function) : [Required] Parse code, and you should callback when the parsing process is done. Callback specify the params as an array of error Object. The error Object should have params range and message.
  • Ripper#find(point Point) []Range : [Required] Return an array of found symbols' Range at the passed Point.

Examples

There are things one may need to change in the release build for Android. Things like App Name are a case here. Suppose you start developing by initialising to a generic App Name and at the time of release one need to change to the actual App Name. Same goes for package name, which is visible in Google Play Store and as well in the App details of the Android phone.

Before we move forward and change things in the final version of the app. There is a way to fix this from the beginning. Generate a react native app with a proper package name with the commandbelow.

But however if at all you have initialised the appas

then the option remains to hack things in theend.

So read on.

App Name

Lets start with App Name. This is the name thats visible in users screen. To change this name, you have to change it in strings.xml.

Full path is

and the entryis

Package name

This is shown in the Play Store and the details in About App of your Android device. This should say something like com.myapp or com.company.appname or somethingsimilar.

To change this, you have to edit fourfiles.

  • android/app/src/main/java/com/reactNativeSampleApp/MainActivity.java
  • android/app/src/main/java/com/reactNativeSampleApp/MainApplication.java
  • android/app/src/main/AndroidManifest.xml ( optional as per my experience)
  • android/app/build.gradle

The first two Java files have the package name as something likebelow.

Change it to your desired packagename.

At this point it should be required to make the physical changes to the Java files in the proper package. But somehow it does not work! Rather it breaks the build. Just keep in mind, that we have changed the package names and that should reflect in the actual package. Incase the builds break, you know where tofind.

Version Code

Android Studio Refactor Change Package Name

This is a number which Google Playstore recognises and does not allow to upload another APK having the same value. Just think of this as build number. The same build can not be uploaded twice. So the point is everytime, you make a build or release-apk, you must have a different number or more specifically incremental number. If your first version of the application has a version code of 5, then the second version must have a version code which is more than5.

Along with version code, you might need to update the version name also. Which is the version number of your application and visible in Google PlayStore.

While version code is used by Play Store to manage your APK, version name is used by Play Store to notify user that an update to your app isavailable.

Refactor

To change these two values, you need toedit

  • android/app/build.gradle
  • android/app/src/main/AndroidManifest.xml ( optional as per my experience)

These settings are taken from build.gradle while making a build with gradle but for the purpose of sanity, its better to change in both of the filesabove.

Here is a referencechange.

Making the releasebuild

Finally making a release build is done from inside the android folder of the React Native application. The commands are asbelow.
