The process of modifying a software application’s title on the Android operating system involves altering the string resource defined within the application’s code. For example, a developer may wish to change an application’s visible name from “MyApplication” to “My App” as displayed on the user’s home screen and in the application list.
Modifying this displayed title is crucial for branding and user experience. A well-chosen and easily recognizable application name contributes to brand recognition and improves the likelihood of users readily locating and identifying the application among others installed on their devices. Historically, these alterations were made directly within the application’s manifest file, but modern Android development practices often utilize resource files for localization and ease of management.
