changing the company name of application in android studio - android-studio

when i created the project i have entered "atoa" in the company domain, and now my package name is "atoa.myApplication".i have tried to change it from the manifest and then move it but it didnt work. all the solutions i found are for changing "myApplication" name but i want to change atoa.myApplication to com.myApplication

Go to AndroidManifest file
Here, put your cursor over your package name "atoa.myApplication", don't select just place cursor over the word you want to rename (For eg: atoa) and
Press shift+F6 you will get a popUp for Renaming your package. Write your new package name and refactor.

Goto App->build.gradle
Change it in there and make sure to resync!

How to change the name of an xml element globally across the whole project

I have some string elements in the strings.xml file of my android project and I want to change their name in the strings.xml file and everywhere else where they were used.
Is there a way to do this in android studio without having to go through each file manually to edit the names?
Right click the name in 'strings.xml'
Select 'Refactor' option
Select 'Rename' option
Edit the name and hit 'Refactor'
As a shortcut, you can change the name of an XML element, this way:
Select the XML's name (or XML's file in the left panel),
press SHIFT+F6 (or FN+SHIFT+F6 on MacOS),
change the name (in the opened box),
click refactor.

old file name stuck at the top of sublimetext

Very strange issue here, it's not causing problems but is aesthetically annoying. I had the kindle plugged into my windows machine as to edit the kindle's files. One of the kindle file names is now listed after the name of the python program I'm working on in sublime text. To paint a picture, above the menu drop downs in sublime text, there is the path to the document (IE python program) I'm working on, followed by the random file from the kindle.
The kindle file is no longer on my computer and never had anything to do with sublime text. I've tried restarting the computer and reinstalling sublime text, neither worked. Any ideas what might be going on??? Thanks!
The sublime text window caption shows you the name of the currently open file, followed by the name of the current project in parentheses (if you have a project open at all), followed by the name of the program.
Based on the screenshot in your image:
You currently have the file softmax.py open and it is stored in a folder on your desktop named machine learning\python programs\test\newyorktest\
The name of the Sublime project file is Casting the Circle_A Woman's Book of Ritual_B009FKTQD8_sample.sdr.sublime-project (the caption doesn't show the sublime-project part because that's redundant).
I would imagine that when you set up the project you accidentally chose that name as the name of the project file.
In order to fix your problem, select Project > Save Project As... from the menu and enter a different name for it. The location that you save the file in doesn't matter (it can be inside the folder of your project or in some other location), all that is important is that it has the extension .sublime-project.
Once you pick the new name, Sublime will immediately swap to using the new project file instead of the old one, which will keep your current set of open files, etc, and the caption will change.
You can then seek out and delete the other project file if you want.

How to create new project in Android Studio?

I want to create new project in Android Studio.
But There is error message.
There must not already be a project at this location
But There is empty folder at 'this location'
You have to delete the empty folder.
What the error message should say is "There must not already be a folder at this location". The location you specify for the new project must not already exist, because the new project wizard wants to create the folder itself. This makes the whole idea of selecting a folder using the "..." button pointless, you can't select an already-existing folder for the project. It must be a non-existing folder in the "Project location".
I've just spent quite a long and frustrating time figuring this out.
EDIT: Disregard that, it made a project in the default dir, not the place I specified :(
I had the same problem.
The only way I could do it, is to delete projects at the default location (so when I go into Create new Project dialog it won't show me this crap right away). Then enter all the settings for my project and at the very end just paste the path to new project location right into the path field (not select it with their folder picker) and then hit Next.
It's very important to paste path and hit next at very end, so studio won't have time to validate entered path (it will, if you'll try to change some other fields)

Add an already existing directory to a directory in Solution Explorer

I want to add an already existing directory to a directory in Solution Explorer, but whenever I right-click on the directory and select Add => Existing Item, I can only add individual files, but not directories.
How do I add an already existing directory to a directory inside a Project inside Solution Explorer?
Click the 'Show all files' button at the top of the Solution Explorer and right click the folder desired and select 'include in project'.
Drag and drop the folder from Windows Explorer onto your Visual Studio solution window :)
Source here
or simply copy & paste into solution explorer.
VS 2012 seems to distinguish between 'Solution Folders', which are only folders containing either other solution folders, or containing project folders. The drag-and-drop works (with my settings) only for the project folders, and no for the solution folders.
If I add a new solution folder, nothing happens on the machine. If I drag-and-drop a machine folder to the main Solution, it refuses to accept it. If I drag-and-drop the folder to a Solution Folder, I get an error message saying this cannot be done.
Some other answers are missing an important point: if the folder is not in a project in the solution it is impossible to add the folder
This is the solution:
1) Add a new folder to the sln - it does not care that the folder already exists on the disk because this a virtual folder in the sln
2) Add the file to the folder using "add existing files"
When dealing with a solution level folder that has been removed for some reason, and now needs to be added back, open the .sln file in a text editor like notepad++.
Find your "FolderName" in the section that looks like this...
Project("{2150E333-8FDC-42A3-9474-1A3956D46DE8}") = "NewFolder1", "NewFolder1", "{73ED84FC-F250-4CCC-B267-34CEB67F2883}"
EndProject
Delete from "Project" to "EndProject" ONLY for the specific Project/Folder you're having trouble with.
You may get a message in VS2012 that says your solution has been modified by an external source. Choose the option to "Discard" your changes for the external changes. Lastly, add your solution level folder, and add your project(s) to that folder as existing items, drag/drop them, or copy and paste them, according to your preference.
For those who had a hunch it could be done but weren't able to do it, NOTE: Drag Folder or Files ONTO the name of the Project Name in Solution Explorer in the least
Expand the "Project" item in the menu bar and select "Show All Files". Then locate the folder you wish to add in the Solution Explorer (folders that are not currently included will be light grey with a dotted outline instead of the usual solid icon) right click the desired folder and select "Include in project"
Once finished select "Show All Files" from the Project menu again to return to the regular view.
(This is very similar to Radenko Zec's answer, but does not require the "Show All Files" button to already be present in a toolbar. I would just leave this as a response to his answer, but I don't currently have the reputation to leave comments.)

Where does notepad++ store style configurator settings?

I downloaded and modified a style file and placed it in the Notepad++ themes folder. I was able to select it and have it update the style as expected. I then went to Settings -> Style Configurator and changed the font of COMMENT of language VHDL to MS Gothic, hit save, and closed and exited Notepad++. I am able to relaunch Notepad++ and still see the change (I'm running Notepad++ in admin mode on Win7).
The only file that I can see a new timestamp on is my XML theme file, but I don't see MS Gothic anywhere in the file. Where is this information being stored? It is overriding the settings from my theme file. I also checked %APPDATA%\Notepad++\stylers.xml but I don't see it there either.
I realize I can change it back through the GUI, but I'd like to know how to get back to my original theme without selecting every style in the language manually (as I've made multiple changes). If I could edit (or delete) a file, I would prefer it.
Look in your %APPDATA%\Notepad++ folder, specifically for the stylers.xml file.
Uninstall Notepad++
Reinstall it again, but this time check the first box, the one that says "Don't use %APPDATA%..... "
Enjoy.
The reason is that Notepad++ install all the files at administrator profile, if you are using another user then you are screw, it will not work properly, you have to run it always as an administrator so it can work properly. To avoid this, just do as i said.
If files are going to APPDATA, then you can create a folder called "themes" and then inside that place your new xml themes. Then close and reopen notepad++ and you should see your new style in the "Select theme:" drop down. Whatever you named the file should be what appears in the dropdown
If you are on Windows 10 the path to add the new theme is :
C:\Users\NAME-OF-COMPUTER\AppData\Roaming\Notepad++\themes
stylers.xml is located one director/ folder above the themes :
Just as a complement to the other answers, if you made the changes on another theme than the default theme (stylers.xml) then your changes are saved to
%APPDATA%\Notepad++\themes\TheThemeYouModified.xml.
For example, if you modified the choco theme, then look for the %APPDATA%\Notepad++\themes\choco.xml.
You will also find a choco.xml in the C:\Program Files (x86)\Notepad++\themes but this one is not where your changes are saved.
I tried Rbastardo answer, but even when I check "Don't use %APPDATA%....." when installing Notepad++, the changes are still saved in %APPDATA%.
In case this helps someone in the future, if you installed Notepad++ via Scoop then look for your themes directory here:
D:\Users\yourusername\scoop\persist\notepadplusplus\themes
