So, I want to rename a file in android studio (layout/resource files, etc...), but I want to do it safely. Basically, I want to rename without refactoring. I will take care of errors that come afterwards, but I don't want Android Studio to wreck havoc on some files that might not even have relations with the current file.
Basically, I want control on the renaming. A simple file rename. Is there a way to do it without having to go to Windows Explorer?

I'm using Android studio. Select the activity name and press "Control + F6" (in windows) or "CMD + F6" (in mac). A dialog will come, give new name to that activity and press OK.
To rename the package name in Android studio, Click on the setting icon in the project section and untick the Compact empty Middle Packages, after that the package will split into multiple folder names, then right-click on the folder you need to change the name, click on refactor-> Rename-> Type the name you want to ...
How it works... Android Studio will take care of renaming a method or member and any references to it everywhere in the project. This includes Java classes, layouts, drawables, and anything else that you can think of. There are many other interesting options available from the Refactor menu that you can use.
There's two options and both inside the Refactor menu. The Refactor> Rename option is exactly what you don't want the other one Refactor> Rename File option is just what you want. Also when using Refactor> Rename it will show you the Refactoring Preview. There you see and select what is going to be affected by this change. To see options just right click
