Now some remaining folders :
assets,bins,libs : Dont care about these folders. Not important at this point of time .Ther have just some library files.
res : This is the most used folder. Please be very particular about this. This will contain everything. The resources which you use such as "images","sounds","animations" etc. Go in this. It has been categorized for our convenience. We can add the categories as per our choice too.
1. drawable-xxxx
The drawable folder has 3 sub folders and is differentiated on the basis of image quality. And yes it stores images. See phone has different resolutions and you simply can't use an image of 240*320 on your screen of 800*600. So to allow your app to be more user friendly or rather phone friendly these folders have been defined. The high resolution images can be sent to drawable-hdmi, medium to drawable-mdpi..and so on. When we will go more deep into it we will discover more about them.
2. layout
This is used to store the different XML layouts we are using.You will see in it our home.xml file.
3. menu
Menus are also layouts and this will store them. Menu is something where you see stuff like "About Us","Help" etc. in your android apps
4. values
This folder is generally used to store some values. Just take it that way we will be discussing it later as we use it practically for better info.
Thats all in the Exploring stuff section.GOOD NEWS.ALL the boring part is over :-)
From next post the droiding fun begins.
