In this Sample I want to change My Application Title to Surah Al Baqrah with Translation.

Change your view to Android. Go to App --> Res --> Values --> Strings.xml You can update the code below:

<string name="app_name">My Application</string>

which will look like:

to:

    <resources>
        <string name="app_name">Surah Al Baqrah with Translation</string>
    </resources>

Let me add a little to Robert Massaioli's answer.

If you have custom attributes used in your XML files (Creating a View Class), you'll also have to rename your XML namespaces.

xmlns:custom="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/com.myold"

must be renamed to

xmlns:custom="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/com.mynew"

If you want to change the name of your application as it shows on the phone just change the value in the app_name variable. The Path is res -> values -> strings.xml -> app_name

The project name is defined in the file .project as below. It is at the same level of your AndroidManifest.xml. I experienced it when I wanted to add to my workspace a project with the same projectName of an existing one and could find where it was defined. The Manifest file does not help in such case.

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<projectDescription>
<name>YourProjectName</name>
<comment></comment>
<projects>
</projects>
<buildSpec>
    <buildCommand>
        <name>com.android.ide.eclipse.adt.ResourceManagerBuilder</name>
        <arguments>

I just finish modifying the package name and I hope this will help. I am using eclipse.

First you should have a backup of your AndroidManifest.xml, then you can select Refactor -> Rename to the package you want to change the name.

My eclipse Refactor will change the AndroidManifest.xml and make it not even able to compile, so I just paste the AndroidManifest.xml I backup, and change the package name by myself to the new one.

By the way, you should clean your project first, so the file auto generated in the gen folder will be cleaned.

When you build again with your new AndroidManifest.xml, you will get the correct gen folder.

Hope it helps.

Are you referring to the android:label attribute of the application tag in the manifest? If so, you could set it directly like so:

    <application
        ...
        android:label="My title"
        ... >

Or configure the string resource this points to by default, I think it was called app_name. Open the file strings.xml in the project subfolder res/values/ and edit it there.

You change it in the manifest file. That is where you can change a whole bunch of settings about the android project itself.
