Answer 1

Android Studio indirectly (but easily) supports this requirement;
e.g. Change java.X.Y.myPrecious to java.myPrecious [assume packages X and Y are empty]
(a) Select Android from dropdown heading in Project window.
(b) Using the 'gear/cog' tool uncheck Compact Empty Middle packages
(c) Drag myPrecious to java (be patient if necessary)
(d) Right-click/Delete X
(e) Clean and Rebuild the project making any obvious changes to the Manifest if necessary.
