Android: How to change specific name of the generated apk file in Android Studio?

Question

By default IDE genarate a apk like app-debug.apk or app-release.apk file but I need to generate specific name of the Apk of the Ap

Answer 1

Step 1: Go to root of the main project, under app , right click on app and refactor the app into specific name (example iPlanter) and press ok

Step 2: Go to Project Setting file which is setting.gradle file

setting.gradle file contains

include ':app'

Now need to replace app by specific name.

For Example app replace by iPlanter in include ':app' it looks like below

include ':iPlanter'

then Sync project, after that run your application. Finally, App generate an apk like iPlanter-debug.apk or iPlanter-release.apk file.

Answer 2

On my PC, it suffices to rename (through refactor) app to the desired name yourName. After that, include ':app' in setting.grandle file is changed to include ':yourName'. However, in my case I need to close/reopen Android Studio because of sync error. As a result, obtain apk something like yourName-debug.apk and yourName-release.apk.

Answer 3

This will help you. This code will create app name like iPlanter-release.apk or iPlanter-debug.apk

buildTypes {
   applicationVariants.all { variant ->
    variant.outputs.each { output ->
        project.ext { appName = 'iPlanter' }
        def newName = output.outputFile.name
        newName = newName.replace("app-", "$project.ext.appName-")
        output.outputFile = new File(output.outputFile.parent, newName)
     }
  }

}
