Is there a way to change the name (Launcher App Label) of an app without creating a new project?
Note: Name of the App and The label shown on the Launcher Icon on Home Screen on Mobiles can be different.
Example: On the home page in my Mobile where my apps are, I have an icon and the name Foo, but I want to change the name to Bar. Can I do this?
Best Answer
Yes you can. By changing the
android:label
field in your application node inAndroidManifest.xml
.Note: If you have added a Splash Screen and added
to your Splash Screen, then the Launcher Icon name will be changed to the name of your Splash Screen Class name.
Please make sure that you change label:
in your Splash Screen activity in your strings.xml file. It can be found in Res -> Values -> strings.xml
