I read this question but the answer does not perform a refactoring of the code as Android Tools > Rename Application Package does. I need this command line to include it in a script to create the three APKs of my application: free, demo and paid.
A better solution would be to make use of Android Library Projects.
Put your common code into a library and wrap that library in a separate project for each of your other types of application.
i.e 4 projects in total. Free, Demo, Paid and Library. (Although why bother with demo as a free version could perform this purpose)
Each project could then be built without any refactoring (which could be dangerous)
See the documentation for full details.
Another option would be have only one project and utilise in app billing to upgrade to a paid status. This has the advantage of you only having to maintain one app and speaking from experience, users will be less confused as to which app they want
