In projects that use the Gradle build system, what you want to change is the applicationId in the build.gradle file. The build system uses this value to override anything specified by hand in the manifest file when it does the manifest merge and build.

For example, your module's build.gradle file looks something like this:

apply plugin: 'com.android.application'

android {
    compileSdkVersion 20
    buildToolsVersion "20.0.0"

    defaultConfig {
        // CHANGE THE APPLICATION ID BELOW
        applicationId "com.example.fred.myapplication"
        minSdkVersion 10
        targetSdkVersion 20
        versionCode 1
        versionName "1.0"
    }
}

applicationId is the name the build system uses for the property that eventually gets written to the package attribute of the manifest tag in the manifest file. It was renamed to prevent confusion with the Java package name (which you have also tried to modify), which has nothing to do with it.

First click once on your package and then click setting icon on Android Studio   Close Unselect Compact Empty Middle Packages  Then  right click your package and rename it   Thats all

It can be done very easily in one step   You don t have to touch AndroidManifest  Instead do the following     right click on the root folder of your project  Click  Open Module Setting    Go to the Flavours tab   Change the applicationID to whatever package name you want  Press OK

Another good method is  First create a new package with the desired name by right clicking on the java folder -  new -  package   Then  select and drag all your classes to the new package  Android Studio will refactor the package name everywhere   Finally  delete the old package   or Look into this post
