AppIconNameChanger

Change Android App launcher Icon and App Name programmatically !

Download Demo APK from HERE

Kindly use the following links to use this library:

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' 
}

How to use

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.
