And then in the other gradle file(may be your app gradle or your own module library gradle, but never add in both of them to avoid conflict.)

java
dependencies { compile 'com.github.myinnos:AppIconNameChanger:1.0.7' }

How to use

Step 1: set activity alias in manifest file : #Example

xml
<application ......... <!-- main activity--> <activity android:name=".MainActivity" /> <!-- setting activity-alias names--> <activity-alias android:name="in.myinnos.changeappiconandname.MainActivitySettings" android:enabled="true" //enabled by default launcher android:icon="@drawable/ic_settings" //app icon android:label="@string/app_settings" //app label/name android:targetActivity=".MainActivity"> <intent-filter> <action android:name="android.intent.action.MAIN" /> <category android:name="android.intent.category.LAUNCHER" /> </intent-filter> </activity-alias> <activity-alias android:name="in.myinnos.changeappiconandname.MainActivityCamera" android:enabled="false" android:icon="@drawable/ic_camera" //app icon android:label="@string/app_camera" //app label/name android:targetActivity=".MainActivity"> <intent-filter> <action android:name="android.intent.action.MAIN" /> <category android:name="android.intent.category.LAUNCHER" /> </intent-filter> </activity-alias> ......... </application>

Step 2: implement App Icon Name Changer method : #Example

java
// Active alias name String activeName = "in.myinnos.changeappiconandname.MainActivitySettings"; // Disable alias names List<String> disableNames = new ArrayList<String>(); disableNames.add("in.myinnos.changeappiconandname.MainActivityCamera"); disableNames.add("in.myinnos.changeappiconandname.MainActivityMessage"); // Initiate App Icon Name Changer new AppIconNameChanger.Builder(MainActivity.this) .activeName(activeName) // String .disableNames(disableNames) // List<String> .packageName(BuildConfig.APPLICATION_ID) .build() .setNow();

IMP Note: To change application launcher icon and the application name should wait for 10 Seconds(MAX) to refresh the launcher.
