Let's say you have an Android game. You want to duplicate the project
and change the package name to make a new game. Is there a simple 20-
second way of doing this? I've tried many methods and somehow this
always takes about half an hour of fiddling for something that ought
to be trivial.
it should be easily done with some unix shell command:
1. copy the project
# now move the directory
2. mv src/old/package/position src/new/package/position
# change the "package" inside java sources
3. sed -i 's#^package old\.package\.position#package
new.package.position#' `grep -Rl '^package old\.package\.position' src/*`
# change the imports inside java sources
4. sed -i 's#^import old\.package\.position#import
new\.package\.position#' `grep -Rl '^package old\.package\.position' src/*`
# if you have defined custom view change the tags
5. sed -i 's#<\(\/?\)old\.package\.position#<\1new\.package\.position#g'
`grep -Rl 'old\.package\.position' res/layout*/*`
6. finally manually fix your manifest, or using a command like the one above
I also suggest to use a versioning tool like git and check the diff at
each step, committing if it's correct or resetting/cleaning if you did a
mistake... at the end you can squash the commits to be a single one with
rebase interactive or if you rename the package on a branch (suggested)
just merge your branch with the --squash option back in mainline
if you still don't know them run learn regex and unix shell :)
on a mac (or bsd) the above sed commands should be rewritten with:
sed -i '' 's#....#....#'
note the double quote after -i
if you are on Windows well... :) enjoy doing it manually with Eclipse,
it may help you a little but it will take you some time and probably
some head ache ;)
cheers
