 Android Resources
1. Main Project
This would be entire project context. Whatever
you do in IntelliJ IDEA, you do that in the context
of a project. A project is an organizational unit that
represents a complete software solution.
2. .idea
Eclipse uses project.properties file for project
specific metadata. Here in android studio, this
.idea does the same thing. This means the project
specific metadata is stored by Android Studio.

33
 Android Resources
3. Project Module (app)
This is the actual project folder where your
application code resides. The application folder has
following sub directories
4. gradle
This is where the gradle build systems jar wrapper
i.e. this jar is how AS communicates with gradle
installed in Windows (the OS in my case).
5. External Libraries
This is not actually a folder but a place where
Referenced Libraries and information on targeted
platform SDK is shown.
