Where is Android app title in settings configured?





.everyoneloves__top-leaderboard:empty,.everyoneloves__mid-leaderboard:empty,.everyoneloves__bot-mid-leaderboard:empty{ height:90px;width:728px;box-sizing:border-box;
}

We have an existing app about to release an update for; however, the update has changed the title of the app when seen in Settings/Apps.



Is that based on a setting in console (e.g. one of the titles we set there), or is it configured in the manifest / build?

          Open the manifest.xml and under the application tag you must have this attribute:



          android:label="myapplicationname"


          You can change it there.


          It's common practice to keep the app's name/title in strings.xml:



          <string name="app_name">myapplicationname</string>


          and in the manifest keep a reference to it:



          android:label="@string/app_name"
