Answer 1

The package in android is the name of the application that makes it unique from any other android apps, therefore allow the production of multiple apps with the same product name.

Answer 2

Contains information about a Java package. This includes implementation and specification versions. Typically this information is retrieved from the manifest.

Packages are managed by class loaders. All classes loaded by the same loader from the same package share a Package instance.

Hope this helps!

Answer 3

Could you try and change the android:name attribute of your application entry in the manifest as follows and see if it helps?

<application
   ....
   android:name=".App"  (or android:name=".Application.App")
 />

This will ensure that the app uses the same package name as the one declared in the manifest.
