Answer 1

You cannot have a package name that starts with "com.example". Since your package name is test.example that is not the problem.

As the warning says, see if there are any periods at the start or end of your package.

Check the screenshot. Your window should look exactly like this. And make sure that there are no extra spaces or periods in your package name.
