Question

I’m trying to create a new project in eclipse for an android app, and I’m going to enter some stuff in a dialog, and I just wonder what the your.package.namespace is and what I am going to write here? Thanks!

Answer 1

The “your.package” section is reserved for a unique id for your apps; I use com.laurencedawson as I own laurencedawson.com. I tend to use the “namespace” to describe the current project, so if I was releasing an app on SO, it would be com.laurencedawson.so.

More formally here’s the documentation from Google:

Package Name

This is the package namespace (following the same rules as for packages in the Java programming language) that you want all your
source code to reside under. This also sets the package name under
which the stub Activity is generated.
Your package name must be unique across all packages installed on the Android system; for this reason, it’s important to use a standard
domain-style package for your applications. The example above uses the
“com.example” namespace, which is a namespace reserved for example
documentation — when you develop your own applications, you should use
a namespace that’s appropriate to your organization or entity.

Hope this helps!
