What components does the project consist of and what is each part responsible for?

An Android project consists of the following main components:

1. Manifest (AndroidManifest.xml): Declares the fundamental characteristics of the application (package, permissions, components — Activities, Services, Broadcast Receivers, Content Providers), required API level, and other important metadata.
2. Resources (res/): Contains the non-code part of the application:
   • drawable: Graphic resources (images, icons, shapes).
   • layout: XML files describing user interfaces.
   • values: Strings, colors, sizes, styles, themes.
   • mipmap: Launcher icons.
   • raw: Arbitrary raw resources (audio, video).
   • xml: Arbitrary XML files.
3. Source code (java/ or kotlin/):
   • Contains code in Java or Kotlin languages implementing the application logic, UI interaction, data processing, etc.
4. Gradle Build Files (build.gradle, settings.gradle):
   • Configure the project build process. Define dependencies, plugins, SDK versions, build variants (build types, product flavors).
5. Assets (assets/):
   • Contains arbitrary files (e.g., fonts, databases, text files) accessible via AssetManager.
6. JNI Libraries (jniLibs/):
   • Contains native libraries (C/C++) for use with Android NDK.
