Android applications are uniquely identified using the package name. So you must not name your application’s package name to something like “a.b.c” as there is a high possibility someone else too named that way. Read this question at StackOverFlow to learn more about android package naming convention.
In case u started a project with silly package name and you want to rename it to something meaningful. This task can be easily done in Eclipse.
Procedure has 2 main tasks
- first right click on the package name and choose re-factor and then choose re-name. Now type your name and click OK.
- Second task is open your manifest file and search for your old package name. When ever you encounter your old package name, change it to new package name.
- Third Save the project and run the project. All good to go now.
