This manifest file contains information
about the application such as android
version, access permissions, etc. of the
application and its components.

Exploring the folders and files in the Android
App
Gradle Scripts
In android, Gradle means automated
build system and by using this we can
define a build configuration that
applies to all modules in our
application
In Gradle build.gradle (Project),
and build.gradle (Module) files are
useful to build configurations that
apply to all our app modules or
specific to one app module

Exploring the folders and files in the Android
App
Android Layout File
(activity_main.xml)
The UI of our application will be
designed in this file and it will
contain Design and Text modes.
