I am unable to rename application package name in Eclipse - java

At first I got an error while exporting my android app in eclipse:
AndroidManifest.xml does not declare a Java package: Build aborted.
I posted this problem in various forums and one guy told me to do these steps:
you need to enter a valid Bundle ID for Google Play. Something similar to "com.company.gamename".
Don't use any special characters.
BUT whenever I try to click on rename application package, the menu disappears and nothing shows up.
Please Help...

From the error "AndroidManifest.xml does not declare a Java package: Build aborted." it looks like your AndroidManifest.xml file has missing "package:com.xxx.xxx" attribute.
You need to confirm on this by double checking AndoridManifest.xml file.
You can try refreshing entire project from project->right-click-menu>refresh. This will fetch latest content from file.

IInAppBillingService.java does not generate Java file in Android Studio

I am following this tutorial:
https://developer.android.com/google/play/billing/billing_integrate.html#billing-permission
No InAppBillingActivity file is generating. I'm not sure why. I checked to make sure everything is placed correctly but no luck. Here is what my folder structure looks like:
Click this for picture
Now I know there are similar questions like this but none of them were able to solve my problem. I have already imported googles billing library as well. No file generates when I run / build the app.
The problem is that the docs are not very accurate in specifying where it is that you will find the java file that should be in the gen folder. I had faced the same problem and had broken my head over it, until I found that the .java file was infact generated and it was in the path :
\app\build\generated\source\aidl\debug\com\android\vending\billing\IInAppBillingService.java
Its not a headache issue and your code runs smoothly itself without any interventions required. Hope this helps!
In android studio double click on your package name:
click in New and then on AIDL
Hope it helps
Its usually generated but not put where the tutorial tells you. If you do a Ctrl+N and type in the class name in intelliJ you may be able to find it

issue renaming package in android studio

I'm trying to rename my app package name in android studio because when I try to upload to google play it says prefix "com.example" is reserved. So I've been to manifest file - double click in "example" and then refractor this, changed to "myapps" and changed it in the whole project.
Now I try to upload it and I still get the same error message. Anybody knows how to fix this error ?
Many thanks in advance
It seems simple. There are many ways from which one is this:
After you change the name manually in the AndroidManifest.xml, you click on the R.java class and then press F6.
R.java resides in the app/build/generated/source/r/debug/(packagename) directory. It contains resource IDs for the things you use in the android app. Check this question for more information.
Also, Amir is right, try to use a more unique package name. Example: com.(familyname) or your company domain.

java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: com.google.ads.AdView

I am attempting to incorporate admob ads in my app. So far I have added the following code
in the onCreate method of my app's main activity...
adView = new AdView(this,AdSize.BANNER,"my code number");
adView.loadAd(new AdRequest());
The program compiles without error but at run time I get the message java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: com.google.ads.AdView. I have seen a supposed explanation of the problem and the cure here but I could not see how it was applicable to my project because I do not have either a "lib" or "libs" directory within my project.
According to eclipse's SDK manager, I have the most up to date version of everything that I use.
I had a similar problem, but did not have to add the libs folder; I tried, with no success, then removed them afterwards, when I realized that I had just forgotten to export the included Jar archived.
Fix:
Select project settings > Java Build Path, then Order and export.
Here, check the GoogleAdMobAdsSdk-package.
This should solve the NoClassDefFoundError-issue.
Just create manually the "libs" folder, and add your libraries there. By default, they doesn't exist
Project-> Clean
Project settings -> Java Build Path. Open "Order and export" tab.
Check GoogleAdMobsAdsSDK.
It is worked for me.
Was getting this error updating from android 16 to 20.
Solved by going to Java Build Path, Order and Export tab, checked and moved GoogleAdMobAdsSdk just under my source. For some reason that fixed it.
Changing the order back didn't break it. So some setting must have needed to be initialized.
I had this problem, and this problem too:
Multiple dex files define Lcom/google/ads/AdRequest$ErrorCode and Multiple dex files define Lcom/google/ads/AdRequest$ErrorCode
Despite many hours of following all solutions listed the only way I could get my app to work was to use the AdMob banner example here:
https://github.com/googleads/googleads-mobile-ios-examples/tree/master/admob/SmartBannerExample
And re-build my project around it, copying my files in to that project. If you are stuck, try it.
Don't know why it worked, but now it does. Something in my project was very wrong. Now I can carry on with my work. I love Google/Android, but really what a mess!
See this answer Android update 17 seems incompatible with external Jars.
You need to put all jars in libs folder insted of lib.
It's not enough only to add "GoogleAdMobAdsSdk-6.4.1.jar" in Java Build Path,then you should switch to table:Order and export.check the "GoogleAdMobAdsSdk-6.4.1.jar" here.
UPDATE:
Select project settings > Java Build Path, then Order and export.
Here, check the google-play-services.jar.
This should solve the NoClassDefFoundError-issue.
In my case I needed to click on the "Android Private Libraries" on the "Order and Export" Tab
Go to Properties - Java Build Path - Order and Export and check every Checkmark! That did the trick for my project.

R.layout.main couldn't be resolved

I am building an application and I added a new activity to generate a view. I compiled it. My application can not find anything that is on the format R.id.xxx or R.layout.xxx, I've tried also cleaning my project, closing Eclipse and opening Eclipse again, but nothing. The most strange thing is that before everything was working well. But now it can not recognize even the R.layout.main that is default of my principal activity. Anyone have an idea?
Also I have tried almost everything here: R cannot be resolved - Android error
but no result!
Solved
Thanks to woopsy, also I found the reference to this kind of problem
http://source.android.com/source/using-eclipse.html
it happens because Eclipse sometimes imports R when you press the combination ctrl+shift+O
Remove all your imports for the Activity and then have eclipse fix imports. I have had problems where eclipse wants to import a different R than the one I need.
First of All Check You have R.java File then check
import android.R;
Enter Yourpackages like import com.mypackages.prj;
If you are using eclipse, take a backup of your layout main.xml file and then from the eclipse new file interface create a new "Android XML File" and call it main.xml. copy back from the backup the contents into this new file.
try this.
check your xml files. there might be something wrong in it which is causing R not to build up automatically. To observe such errors, switch your view to Console tab
this is a common error. You need to just search your R.java file in generated section of your project directory in Eclipse. Need to import if the R.java file into the package then import . R;
I hope it will work for you. It was absolutely worked for me...enjoy programming
friends take care that u haven't imported R class, if you have delete "import android.R". The reason is there are two R things one R.java and R.class and we need the java, where we dont need to import rather than referring it. It worked for me and may be to you too.
I found the solution...For me works it
Poject->Properties->Android->Project Build Target (here choose android4.4 or 5.1.1 Android Open Source Project)->Ok
Project->Build All
This function ...
This problem can fix with this process: -
File---->Invalidate cache/restart.
it will restart your android studio and fix that problem

Refactoring package name breaks entire app

I am trying to refactor my package using Eclipse
org.sheehan.activity
to
org.sheehan.stocks.activity
For some reason my project just blows up when I do this and R doesn't get regenerated. How can I refactor properly?
UPDATE:
I updated my Android Manifest to reflect the change. R still doesn't get regenerated. Even after a clean. The compiler is complaining about org.sheehan.activity.R
I resolved by:
Android Tools > Rename Package Application
If you renamed properly, all your references across your project should have gotten updated. After doing this, clean your project by going to Project > Clean. This should fix it.
Fixing missing reference to R in eclipse:
Refactor -> Rename`
Build -> Clean
Android Tools -> Fix Project Properties
select the base package of your project in the eclipse package explorer, press F2 (Rename), in the rename dialog: SELECT ALL the checkboxes.:
That should do it
The package name doesn't update in the XML files. Specifically your manifest which needs to know the base package.
For more advanced imports and refactors, literally closing the Eclipse IDE can refresh a cache that causes random errors like "End position lies outside document range" or the "what once worked now doesn't hair puller outter errors."
Signs you should close Eclipse when trying to rename things are:
When you import a project, do some refactoring (like trying to change the package name), then delete the project and try again, you will see immediate R.java errors when you didn't before
When you are importing projects that have manually generated R.java files that have custom imports like "com.ns.proj.R" and don't see the name update in Preview
The box that asks if you want to "Rename subpackages" is checked unexpectedly
the code in the "Preview>>" looks as if it's been complied before instead of black and white code with the proper names replaced
you get XML errors in the manifest activity name like this
android:name="com.ns.proj.CustomCocom.ns.proj.CustomControlse="#android:style/Theme.Light.NoTitleBar"
when it should be
android:name="com.ns.proj.CustomControls"
android:style="Theme.Light.NoTitleBar"
There are too many to name obviously, however this is as important as "keep your eye on the ball" in sports. Something that is so easy to forget, yet things like these apply to other software programs like Dreamweaver (e.g. when you use the Dreamweaver "Put" option instead of FTP dragging with FileZilla and you notice your domain isn't updating your changes online). I called Adobe when I first started as a developer 8 years ago because I knew I wasn't doing anything wrong. They said sometimes the generated files to perform the action get corrupted...in other words, IDE's have bugs too!
In general, close the IDE before you off yourself...it could save your life!
Right click in your Project, go to
Android Tools > Rename Package Application
Sometimes if Project > Clean doesn´t work, so Delete /gen and /bin folders of your project.
