Any help? thank you

Answer 1

There is a workaround to using the Project -> Android Tools -> Rename Application Package

In the example we'll rename com.my.app to com.my.newapp

ALWAYS BACKUP PROJECTS BEFORE REFACTORING

1. Expand your project -> gen
2. Right click com.my.app and select Refactor, enter new name com.my.newapp
3. The files will be renamed and updated. A package matching the old name will be created, ignore it for now
4. Open your AndroidManifest.xml and change the Package name to com.my.newapp
5. Remove the old com.my.app package from gen
6. Expand Project -> src
7. Right click com.my.app and refactor to com.my.newapp (include subclasses but don't do text)

Your project should now build with it's new package name. You can now update any textual references to com.my.newapp, check the full AndroidManifest.xml for any extra things to update.

Answer 2

Check if you have any empty classes.

Answer 3

Check whether any of your class is fully commented or not.If yes, uncomment it.

Answer 4

Right click on package folder select Refector select rename.....cheers

Answer 5

change package name in manifest

    package="com.example.appname"
