better is this pattern which allow start with _also

^([a-z_]{1}[a-z0-9_](.[a-z]{1}[a-z0-9_]_)*)$

failed for me on a package named a.a.a.a

/^[a-z][a-z0-9_]*(\.[a-z0-9_]+)+[0-9a-z_]?$/i

You can make second character optional for following name space.

Thank you for sharing.

/^[a-z][a-z0-9_]*(\.[a-z0-9_]+)+[0-9a-z_]?$/i is, I think, equivalent to /^[a-z][a-z0-9_]*(\.[a-z0-9_]+)+$/i

This will include some invalid Application IDs. There must be at least two segment separated by ., and the first letter of each segment cannot be upper case or a number. https://developer.android.com/studio/build/application-id Something like this gets much closer to complete support:

^(?:[a-z_]+(?:\\d*[a-zA-Z_]*)*)(?:\\.[a-z_]+(?:\\d*[a-zA-Z_]*)*)*$

If you want to be truly pedantic about it, then all of the Java Package Name rules need to be included, like no Java reserved words allowed. It makes for an epicly large regex:

It verifies that "aaa" failed.

I'm changed it to

^(?:[a-zA-Z]+(?:\d*[a-zA-Z_]*)*)(?:\.[a-zA-Z]+(?:\d*[a-zA-Z_]*)*)+$

package name rules
A full Java-language-style package name for the Android app. The name may contain uppercase or lowercase letters ('A' through 'Z'), numbers, and underscores ('_'). However, individual package name parts may only start with letters.

application ID rules
And although the application ID looks like a traditional Java package name, the naming rules for the application ID are a bit more restrictive:
It must have at least two segments (one or more dots).
Each segment must start with a letter.
All characters must be alphanumeric or an underscore [a-zA-Z0-9_].
