Manifests Folder
Manifests folder contains AndroidManifest.xml for creating our android application.

It acts as an intermediator between android OS and our application.

Android Studio is the official IDE (Integrated Development Environment) developed by the JetBrains community which is freely provided by Google for android app development. After completing the setup of Android Architecture we can create an android application in the studio. We need to create a new project for each sample application and we should understand the folder structure. It looks like this:
The android project contains different types of app modules, source code files, and resource files. We will explore all the folders and files in the android app.
