For example, if you want to change com.example.app to my.awesome.game, then:

  1. In your Project pane, click on the little gear icon ( gears )

project pane

  1. Uncheck / De-select the Compact Empty Middle Packages option

  2. Your package directory will now be broken up in individual directories

  3. Individually select each directory you want to rename, and: * Right-click it * Select Refactor * Click on Rename * In the Pop-up dialog, click on Rename Package instead of Rename Directory * Enter the new name and hit Refactor * Allow a minute to let Android Studio update all changes * Note: When renaming com in Android Studio, it might give a warning. In such case, select Rename All

directory

  1. Now open your Gradle Build File (build.gradle - Usually app or mobile). Update the applicationId to your new Package Name and Sync Gradle, if it hasn't already been updated automatically:

gradle

  1. Done! Anyways, Android Studio needs to make this process a little simpler.
