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

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

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
