can user's of Android apps see the package name?

Question

I'm new to Android development and was wondering if users can view the package name. Are the package names displayed on the store? or can they view them on their device? Thanks in advance

There is way to get the package names of apps installed in the device using few lines of code. Check this answer for that http://stackoverflow.com/a/5097838/1567588. Not sure, whether you want a programmatic solution or just some general information. :) — SKK, May 24 '13 at 08:59

There's an app that you can view the package name, like Process Managers, Task Killers.

No, but they can use that package name to search an app

It seems android os does not allow package display and you have to use a separate app like Android SYstem Info.
