Wish Example apps to use unique package names

Without doubt, the examples posted in the forum are VERY useful. But I would like to make one small "wish"...

All the examples typically use the packagename of "b4a.example".

If you are just working with one example app, this is not a problem.

But I often run into problems, and I see that others do to (especially newbies).... if there is an example app already installed on the device and the user tries to install a newer version with the same B4a.example package name, it fails with an error that doesn't really do a good job of explaining the real cause of the error.

Also, I will often leave an example app on my phone because I reference it a lot for whatever reason. But, if I install a new example, it will trash the other app and then I have to remember where I stored the other app's source code so I can reinstall it again.

So my wish is to simple set the packagename of examples to something descriptive of what the app does when posting the example, like:

b4a.example.Smtpdemo

or

b4a.example.clvdemo

I always use b4a.example. Otherwise my development phones soon become full with hundreds of apps and it is difficult to find the correct "B4A Example" app.

It takes less then 3 seconds to change the package name. Click on Ctrl + B and change it.

I noticed the same, therefore my reflex is, also when I begin a new project of mine:
1: Change the #ApplicationLabel on top of the Main module
2: Change the Package Name in Build Configuration.

Unfortunately, that's the drawback, I have this 'problem' too. It needs a regular clean up.

Me, too. New project -> change what Klaus mentioned. Reason: JohnC's topics. As a developer which has apps online you automatically come to this point. E.G. the package name starts with your own unique "header" like uk.johncsapps.superapp
