How to change an app’s name in Android Studio Full Detail
Step 1: Update strings.xml
- Open your Android Studio project.

<string name="app_name">YourOldAppName</string>
- Change it to your new app name:
<string name="app_name">YourNewAppName</string>

Step 2: Update AndroidManifest.xml
(If Necessary)
- Go to:
app/src/main/AndroidManifest.xml
- Find the
<application>
tag:<application android:label="@string/app_name"

strings.xml
, replace it directly:<application android:label="YourNewAppName"

Android Studio में किसी ऐप का नाम बदलने के लिए आपको दो जगह बदलाव करने होते हैं:
1. Change App Name (Displayed on Home Screen)
Step 1: Go to res/values/strings.xml
<resources>
<string name="app_name">Your New App Name</string>
</resources>
"app_name"
यही वो नाम है जो आपके ऐप आइकन के नीचे दिखता है।
2. Ensure Manifest Uses That Name
Step 2: Go to AndroidManifest.xml
Check this line inside <application>
tag:
<application
android:label="@string/app_name"
... >
अगर यहाँ hardcoded label हो जैसे:
android:label="Old App Name"
तो इसे बदलकर कर दें:
android:label="@string/app_name"
3. Clean & Rebuild the Project
Run this in Android Studio:
Build > Clean Project
- Then:
Build > Rebuild Project
