android - Change generated apk name from "app-debug.apk"

Question

Every time I run a project with Android Studio (1.02) it's generate an unsigned apk which located in ..uildoutputsapk folder and get by default the name "app-debug.apk"

I want to change that default name to something else.

Is it possible? How?

Answer 1

In build.gradle (Module: app):

android {
    ...
    defaultConfig {
        ...
        setProperty("archivesBaseName", "MyNewAppNameGoesHere")
    }
}

This works by modifying the archivesBaseName-property and works for Gradle Version >= 2.0, last tested with 2.1.0.
