Android - an external library changes the whole app name

I have added an external library to my project and becuase it has a @string/app_name tag in its values file it changes my whole app name. I cant edit this values file. And somehow android studio prefer to take the external library app_name resource. How can i fix it?

Solution:

as Nicholas Tee said:

Change the app name in your AndroidManifest.XML under tag.You should see android:label=@string/app_name resource. In your string.xml, create another tag, let's say @string/app_name_mine. Change the android:label=@string/app_name to android:label=@string/app_name_mine

I have also needed to add an:

tools:replace="label"

to my application tag.

In the values/strings.xml of your related module:

<string name="app_name" translatable="false">MyApplication</string>

Change the app name in your AndroidManifest.XML under <application> tag.

You should see android:label=@string/app_name resource.

In your string.xml, create another tag, let's say @string/app_name_mine.

Change the android:label=@string/app_name to android:label=@string/app_name_mine
