Android Changing Name of application

Yet another simple stuff which i did not know as a beginner was, how to change the name of application,

The application name is basically defined within the application element in the AndroidManifest.xml file

        android:allowBackup="true"
        android:icon="@drawable/ic_launcher"
        android:label="@string/app_name"
        android:largeHeap="true"
        android:theme="@style/AppTheme"
         >

the label field represents the label that is shown on the Device. We just need to change it, in this case, the name is taken from string/app_name resource. To edit it, just change in the resource string file.
