Apps Package name modifying error

H

hellcode

Newbie
Hello,

I'm trying to modify this app for school purposes. There are 2 packages in the app. When I rename the first one name.bagi.levente.pedometer it's all ok, but when I try to rename the second one, name.bagi.levente.pedometer.settings, the app starts, but when I go to settings in the app, the app crashes every time.

Please help me, if you can.
Thank you in advance.

If the Settings activity is crashing I would check two things first:

  1. The package name at the top of the Settings.java class
  2. Your '<activity android:name=".Settings
 
Ok, before I've checked that but before that I will give you this information, maybe I'm wrong there:

The original app has package named name.bagi.levente.pedometer and it has 14 .java files.There is another package or subpackage named
name.bagi.levente.pedometer.preferences with 3 .java files. Settings.java class is in the first main package.I've changed the name of the main package to ftn.master.ilija.code. When I do that, but I leave subpackage with the original name, the app works fine. When I rename subpackage to for example ftn.master.ilija.code.preferences, or anything else, the app runs, but when i go to settings in the app itself on the phone, the app crashes.

1. package name in my settings class is package ftn.master.ilija.code;
2. <activity android:name="ftn.master.ilija.code.Settings" is at the moment, where RunFTN is the main java file.
 
Have you checked your root directory project.properties?

Also, if you can post the error from logcat that would help figure out what's up.

Thanks. Do you have a layout file that is referencing this: [HIGH]name.bagi.levente.pedometer.preferences.StepLength[/HIGH]

which would be the old name?
 
Yes that is the old name, and as far I can see I have only one layout file, but I might be wrong. In this file there is no reference to the old name. I've attached current version of the project that is giving this error, if it is any help.
