- Close Android Studio
- Change project root directory name
- Open Android Studio
- Open the project (not from local history but by browsing to it)
- Clean project
- If your
settings.gradle
contains the below line, either delete it or update it to the new name.
rootProject.name = 'Your old project name'
- A new *.iml file will then be created, the old one(s) can safely be deleted.
- Change app_name in strings.xml (if exists), otherwise it will build the APK with the old name.
