In this module, you’ll continue to explore the parts of the basic Hello World app you created in the last lesson. You’ll look inside the res folder and review the different types of resource files and their purposes. You’ll add strings to the app and then see the various ways to localize them in Android Studio. You’ll also add a bitmap and a vector image and create a custom icon for the app.

You’ll learn:

  • The purpose of resource files, such as strings.xml, colors.xml, and dimens.xml.
  • How to add images to an Android project.
  • The different unit types, such as dp, sp, px, and others.

Let’s get started! :]
