Custom K9 package name

Question

i am writting you cause i am not finding any solution.

I've just downloaded K9 source code from github and it compiles succesfully and when i install it in my android device, i set up an email account and i go to one whatsapp conversation, and send the conversation via email, k9 works out of the box.

The problem comes when i try to do exactly the same but trying to rename the whole Android studio package name of all k9 project. then if i install it in my android device and configure my email account, it works but when i try so send whatsapp conversation via email, k9mail is not in the list of email applications.

Is there any solution to this issue? I am getting crazy.

Thank you very much.

You need to keep the actual name of k9 mail package: com.fsck.k9 and add extra name after de k9 string: com.fsck.k9.your-package-name

If you use grandle you can do it with this option: in file build.gradle includes this code:

defaultConfig { 
     applicationId 'com.fsck.k9.your-package-name'
}
