Completely renaming a project in Eclipse

Question

I have done Refactor -> Rename in Eclipse and the project has been renamed successfully in Eclipse. But when I copy/paste it in a folder, it still keeps the old name.

How can I completely rename it?

Answer 1

Open your .project file from the project folder and change following value in it.

You need to change to Project name in it.

Another way,

Copy Old project from the Project explorer , and paste it over there, It will ask for new name, give a new name , and done.

Answer 2

1) Right click on your package -> refactor -> rename. select Update references and rename subpackages.

2) Change packagename in AndroidMenifest.xml

package=”com.example.new_package_name”

3) In resources->values->string.xml change app_name to "new_name"

<string name="app_name">"new_name"</string>

Hope that will work!
