For Application Name android:label="@string/app_name"

Answer 2

Simply U have to change in Androidmanifest File in application tag which include property like For change logo use android:icon="@drawable/icon" property and change drawable image as per your requirement and for change application name use android:label="@string/app_name" property and write at string.xml file in app_name label put appropriate name for that.

Answer 3

As already pointed out by Egor, you must change the appropriate string in your strings.xml. Typically, the key name in the strings.xml is by default app_name. Change this to whatever you wish to change your App's name to.

For your App's icon, I would recommend using this website to create the appropriate resources: http://android-ui-utils.googlecode.com/hg/asset-studio/dist/icons-launcher.html. This saves the trouble of creating different size resources. It gives you all of them in on go. Once you have downloaded the new set of icons, just replace the old set of icons with the new set. Take care of the name though. Again, typically, the app icon has the name ic_launcher.

Answer 4

Links to app name and icon are placed in the AndroidManifest.xml inside the application tag. String resources, like @string/app_name, are placed inside the strings.xml file in the res/values directory. Drawable resources, like @drawable/ic_launcher, are inside the res/drawable set of directories. Good luck!
