Android Question Active Applications - App Name

[WDK]

My app name is the package name (com.wdk.ultimateconverter). How can I change this to to a different name (ie. Ultimate Converter)? Isn't this determined by the #ApplicationLabel?

Try a applicationlabel without SPACES (chr(32))
UltimateConverter for ex.

Don,

Thanks....I will give that a shot and post the results.

It´s just a guess to try.
It should be affected by the ApplicationLabel as you asumed, yes.

The Application label and the package name are two different things, the first is what it will show as a name on the launcher (icon) the other must be unique since that's the name Google Play uses to distinguish posted apps.

Yes but he is asking why the ApplicationLabel does not have any effect on the name of the app in the Taskmanager (see #1) but for another B4A app it does. AutoScaleExample4 in the Screen
Instead he see the packagename instead of the - expected - ApplicationLabel.

I tried to remove the space in the ApplicationLabel and still the same result. It is somehow pulling from the build configurations. I did a search on my project and the com.wdk.ultimateconverter is not found anywhere else.

The Application Icon name is correct, it is using the value in ApplicationLabel. The name in the Active applications is using com.wdk.ultimateconverter.

Thanks,
WDK

A stupid question: have you tried to reboot the device?

 

[WDK]

Not a stupid question! This was the solution. It is working now. That was definitely stupid on my part to not think of that. I was reinstalling the app with the same error but never thought to try that.

Thank you very much!
