Rename package in Android Studio
Questions : How do you rename packages in the new IDE Android Studio, based on IntelliJ IDEA?
Is there an automatic refactoring included?
I want to make bulk refactoring, but I don’t know how. I worked two years with Eclipse and in Eclipse it’s a one-click operation.

Answer 2:
Another good method is: First create a new package with the desired name by right clicking on the Java folder → New → Package.
Then, select and drag all your classes to the new package. Android Studio will refactor the package name everywhere.
Finally, delete the old package.
Done.
Very important:
You have to manually change AndroidManifest.xml and build.gradle file to the new package if you use this method.
Answer 3:
Changing the application ID (which is now independent of the package name) can be done very easily in one step. You don’t have to touch AndroidManifest. Instead do the following:
- right click on the root folder of your project.
- Click “Open Module Setting”.
- Go to the Flavours tab.
- Change the applicationID to whatever package name you want. Press OK.
Cheers!
