Problem:<\/h1>\n

My current App is called “Shapes!”\u00a0 but I want to change it to something like “Bubbles”.<\/p>\n

Solution:<\/h1>\n

Move and Rename ALL of the files with a reference to “Shapes.”\u00a0 This ended up being more complex than I thought because I wanted to keep my git history.\u00a0 Because of this, I will first post what I did inside the Android SDK.\u00a0 Note, it you are using git, or other Source control, then you will need to do this equivalent moving with your VCS.<\/p>\n

Personally I first checked out a new project and did\u00a0all of the steps below in a clean checkout.\u00a0 I committed all of the changes locally.\u00a0 Second, I checked out a 2nd copy of the project to a new directory, then manually made all of the file moves before I then copied the contents\u00a0first project to the second.\u00a0 Finally, when everything compiled in the 2nd copy, I pushed it back to the server.<\/em><\/p>\n

Steps for the Android SDK<\/h3>\n

In each of the steps below I am simply replacing the word “Shapes” with “BubbleDeluxe”<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

1) Rename the Game class inside the Android SDK using Refactor (Shift+F6)<\/p>\n

public class BubbleDeluxe extends Game {<\/pre>\n
2) Rename the package in the package explorer using Refactor\u00a0(Shift+F6)<\/p>\n
package com.stonemill.bubble;<\/pre>\n
3) Manually rename the package in Android Manifest.xml<\/p>\n
package=\"com.stonemill.bubble.android\"<\/pre>\n
4) Manually rename the App Name in srcandroidresvaluesstrings.xml<\/p>\n
<string name=\"app_name\">Bubble Deluxe<\/string>\r\n<\/pre>\n
5) Shapes.gwt.xml – Manually rename the file and the app name<\/p>\n
<source path=\"com\/stonemill\/bubble\" \/><\/pre>\n
6) Manually change the build.gradle script<\/p>\n
commandLine \"$adb\", 'shell', 'am', 'start', '-n', 'com.stonemill.bubble.android\/AndroidLauncher'<\/pre>\n
7) Exit Android Studio
\n8) Delete the 4 directories<\/p>\n
