Bumping this again.
Can anyone pls. review following PRs:
https://github.com/apache/cordova-cli/pull/192
https://github.com/apache/cordova-lib/pull/84
https://github.com/apache/cordova-android/pull/118
This is an implementation for CB-7231 “Provide more control over
CordovaProjectName vs CordovaAppName” [1]
These changes adds a new option for cli and Android tooling - --projectname
that allow to user to specify main class name, different from application name.
This is necessary when application name contains non-ASCII characters since ADK
tools can't properly handle this situation.
Implementation is for Android only, since we don't see any problems with other
platforms.
I think we need to decide should it be a core option that can be defined via
CLI command or in config.xml or just an android optio/preference.
And if it is a core, do we need it for all platforms, or for android only?

Hi all!
I’ve started working on implementation for CB-7231 “Provide more control over
CordovaProjectName vs CordovaAppName” [1].
Draft implementation for android is ready, you can review it here:
https://github.com/apache/cordova-cli/pull/192
https://github.com/apache/cordova-lib/pull/84
https://github.com/apache/cordova-android/pull/118
1.General changes in cli/lib
* ProjectName can be specified via --projectname option for cli create
command;
* It's written to config.xml into <projectname> element.
Another option - store Project name into <name> element's attribute - <name
projectname="ProjName">AppName<name>
2. Android part of implementation:
* ProjectName can be specified for bin/create script via --projectname option;
* If specified, used for main activity/class name replacement;
3. Android_parser in cli
* update_from_config() method handles <projectname> element in config.xml
during prepare step and renames main class and changes activity name in
manifest according to <projectname> value.
* in case of <projectname> element removal main class and activity name are
remains unchanged from last rename.
For discussion:
1. Currently I use <projectname> element to store ProjectName at config.xml?
Another possible option - use <name projectname=""> approach, like Carlos
proposed.
2. Currently if ProjectName becomes undefined (<projectname> element is
removed) main class file and activity are not being renamed back to app name.
Thoughts?
And just a PS. Could anyone pls. give me permissions at JIRA so I can assign
issues to myself?
