Couldn't upload apk because "com.example" is restricted. What?

Word. How do I rename the root package (com.example)? When I refactor it from the directory, it only let's me rename the last clause of the package name.

Which directory? I suggest you go to your manifest file and there is an attribute called...package. Try refactoring that one and let me know if it works.

Oh wait, no. That hasn't fixed it. Even though I've deleted and regenerated the APK, I still get the same error, though I don't know where com.example is in my project now.

If that didn't work, try this technique.

You need to set the package name using the applicationId in your project's build.gradle file:

    defaultConfig {
        applicationId "teamtreehouse.com.funfacts"
        minSdkVersion 14
        targetSdkVersion 21
        versionCode 1
        versionName "1.0"
    }

Then you can right-click on the package in your main/java folder and select Refactor > Rename. Select Refactor Package and type the new one you just used in applicationId.

You'll need to re-sync Gradle and rebuild the project after this, of course. :)

Hope this helps...let me know if you run into trouble from this.

Same as Thomas, it only let me rename the last clause of the package name, even after set the new package name in the applicationId

I Fixed it by :

create a new package with the desired name by right clicking on the java folder -> new -> package.

Then, select and drag all your classes to the new package. AndroidStudio will refactor the package name everywhere.

Finally, delete the old package.
