How to rename package name in Android Studio

If you are working on an Android Project and working with IntelliJ's IDEA Android Studio and wondering how to rename the Java Package name, here is how you can do it,

Steps to Rename package Name: Android Studio

1. Open your project, make sure you are in Project View
2. Expand your app module and look for java, when you expand it you will see all your packages,
3. Right click on the package example com.abc.mypackage and go to Refactor -> Rename ..., you can also use shortcut Shift + F6
4. You would see a warning window,

   Multiple directories correspond to package
   com.example.myapp:
   
   C:\Users\c2c\AndroidStudioProjects\MyApp\app\src\main\java\com\example\myapp
   C:\Users\c2c\AndroidStudioProjects\MyApp\app\src\androidTest\java\com\example\myapp
   C:\Users\c2c\AndroidStudioProjects\MyApp\app\src\test\java\com\example\myapp
   
   also generated:
   C:\Users\c2c\AndroidStudioProjects\MyApp\app\build\generated\source\buildConfig\debug\com\example\myapp
   
   Do you want to rename the whole package or directory 
   C:\Users\c2c\AndroidStudioProjects\MyApp\app\src\main\java\com\example\myapp only?

   you can select Rename Package
5. You would see a Rename window, change your package name and click refactor
6. Under Refactoring, you can see what code will be changed, click do refactor after validating,

7. Note: You would require to make appropriate changes to build.gradle file manually.
8. Build your project again and you should be done!

Another way of doing it is by creating a new package instead and copying all your contents there - but here you would require to manually update your AndroidManifest.xml and build.gradle file.
