Refactoring package name

Is there a way to refactor package name in Android Studio? I have a package name "one.two.three", and want to change it to "two.three.four"

Hm, yeah, I've done it by importing stuff in a new project. Your example is somewhat better but also 'painful' : ). Copying package and then manually renaming references. Refactoring upon a package works fine, but I wanted to name folders on disk differently. Instead, I think better practice is to go one level deeper and have "one.two.three.four"

Oh okay. yes it is easier to add... "four" in the end...than change the whole package name. At least now you know how to do it if you ever decide to. It is good to do what works for you :D
