How to change the .apk file name?

[RichardK]

I have changed the name of my app since starting to program it (too close to a pre-existing name).

In the project menu, I have changed the "Package Name" and "Application Label", but when I compile the app, the .apk file retains the old name.

There is no "Save As" option in the file menu.

I can manually change the .apk name in Windows Explorer, but that is a laborious process.

Suggestions? - Thanks, Richard King

Try going into the folder where the project is saved and manually rename the projects 'Basic4Android Source Code' file. That is the one that you use to load the project. I haven't fully tested this, so make a copy/backup of the folder first.

Expand " Project Attributes " at the top of code
and change #ApplicationLabel: " Your Package Name "

Hi Guys

Just to confirm that Barx's solution does work as long as there is no spaces in the name
