Resource

A resource is a piece of your application that is not code – things like image files, audio files, and XML files.

To access a resource in code, you use its resource ID

resource ID is int

查詢Resource ID

gen/R.java

android:id="@+id/example"

The at symbol (@) signifies that you’re referring to a resource rather than providing a literal value. The plus (+) indicates that you are creating a new resource reference; without it, you’re referring to an existing resource reference. Then comes id, defining what type of resource it is. Finally, you have the name of the resource

directory res is for resource

ex:

ldpi
mdpi
hdpi
