Description

I want to name my app in Arabic without internationalization (i.e hard code), but it is a limitation in Appcelerator Studio. I really want to request for this support. Thank you.

Hi, We are successful to change app name in a language other than English without internationalization for android only . You Just need to add following code in tiapp.xml .

     <android xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
           <manifest>
               <application>
                   <activity
                       android:configChanges="keyboardHidden|orientation"
                       android:label="صحیح القصص" android:name=".HarisActivity" android:theme="@style/Theme.Titanium">
                       <intent-filter>
                           <action android:name="android.intent.action.MAIN"/>
                           <category android:name="android.intent.category.LAUNCHER"/>
                       </intent-filter>
                   </activity>
               </application>
           </manifest>
       </android>

Please find the attached screen shot . Thanks

@Harish Mridha: Hi, I tried this solution in a stand alone test app. What it does is making a copy of app with this Arabic name but when i click on it app crashes. And when I uninstall the app both (orignal and the copy) gets uninstall. I want to name the actual app in Arabic not to make a copy of my app. Thanks.
