How do you change package name in ai2 sources?

Open Source Development

I have seen many topics but they are not about changing in ai2 sources i found 2 topics but they dont give exact solution to it.

  1. Change Package Name Structure
  2. Custom Package Name Problem

So can someone help me with changing package name :sweat_smile:

Not sure, if this still works:
https://puravidaapps.com/packagename.php

But this works. I did it several times.
(But it's a bit tricky.)

Example:

grafik
grafik730×829 208 KB

Note:
Of course I know that you can change the packageName at Kodular. But sometimes the (old) tough method is needed to make everything work properly.

We need to change two files one is StringUtil.java and another is blockly.js C:\AI2\AI2U\AI\WEB-INF\classes\com\google\appinventor\client\editor\youngandroid\blockly.js

We need to change on this place

  };

/**
 * Generate the beginning Yail code for an APK compilation (i.e., not the REPL)
 * 
 * @param {String} packageName  the name of the package for the app
 *     (e.g. "appinventor.ai_somebody.myproject.Screen1")
 * @param {String} formName  (e.g., "Screen1")
 * @returns {String} Yail code
 * @private
*/
Blockly.Yail.getYailPrelude = function(packageName

You need to do a lot of changes, which I did and it didn't go the way I thought.


I was able to change package name but APK crashed on the launch because android was looking for package name+ .Screen1 while it got same old activity name(with appinventor.ai_) which means activities were still getting added in old pattern.

However, https://sourceforge.net/u/ramiro-pa/ implemented it.

Well I'll not say that a complete implementation of custom package name.
It would be nice if there will be property to specify package name so that developer can change package name completely.
