Change project name on Android Studio

android, android-studio

Solution

This did the trick for me:

- Close Android Studio

- Rename project root directory name

- Open Android Studio

- Open the project

- Clean project

If your `settings.gradle` contains the below line, either delete it or update it to the new name.

rootProject.name = 'Your project name'

Edit: Working in all versions! Last test: Android Studio Chimpmunk Jun 2022.

Problem

I want to change the name of my project and module. But if I try to rename them Android Studio notify me some errors... e.g. I want to change the name from "MyApplication" to "AndroidApp" as shown in the image below. In the first rectangle I want to change it in: AndroidApp ("G:...\Android\AndroidApp). In the second rectangle I want to change it in: AndroidApp [AndroidApp-AndroidApp] edit: This is the log: Gradle: Project 'AndroidApp' not found in root project 'MyApplicationProject'. build.gradle: ``` buildscript { repositories { mavenCentral() } dependencies { classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:0.5.+' } } apply plugin: 'android' repositories { mavenCentral() } android { compileSdkVersion 18 buildToolsVersion "18.0.1" defaultConfig { minSdkVersion 7 targetSdkVersion 16 } } dependencies { compile 'com.android.support:support-v4:18.0.0' } ``` settings.gradle: ``` include ':MyApplication' ```
