Change Android App launcher Icon and App Name programmatically !
Download Demo APK from HERE
In build.gradle (Project)
allprojects {
repositories {
...
maven { url "https://jitpack.io" }
}
}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.)
dependencies {
compile 'com.github.myinnos:AppIconNameChanger:1.0'
}Step 1: set activity alias in manifest file : #Example
<application
.........
<!-- main activity-->
<activity android:name=".MainActivity" />
<!-- setting activity-alias names-->
<activity-alias
android:name="in.myinnos.changeappiconandname.MainActivity-settings"
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.MainActivity-camera"
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
// Active alias name
String activeName = "in.myinnos.changeappiconandname.MainActivity-settings";
// Disable alias names
List<String> disableNames = new ArrayList<String>();
disableNames.add("in.myinnos.changeappiconandname.MainActivity-camera");
disableNames.add("in.myinnos.changeappiconandname.MainActivity-message");
// 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.
