Application ID for package identification

-

With the Android build system, the applicationId attribute is used to -uniquely identify application packages for publishing. The application ID is set in the -android section of the build.gradle file. -

- - 
-    apply plugin: 'com.android.application'
-
-    android {
-        compileSdkVersion 19
-        buildToolsVersion "19.1"

-        versionCode 1
-        versionName "1.0"
-    }
-    ...
-
- -

Note: The applicationId is specified only in your -{@code build.gradle} file, and not in the AndroidManifest.xml file.

- -

When using build variants, the build system enables you to uniquely identify different -packages for each product flavors and build types. The application ID in the build type is added as -a suffix to those specified for the product flavors.

- - 
-   productFlavors {
-        pro {
