Resources

When we created a new Xamarin.Android application project, a folder named Resources was created in Solution Explorer:

Let's analyze the structure of our Resources folder in detail.

For an Android application structure, almost everything other than the actual code is a resource.

A resource can be any of the following, but are not limited to the following:

• Images
  • Any image or icon used in the application
  • They go in the drawable folder
• Application View
  • View files for the application, that is, the Main.axml file that we created
  • Goes in the layout folder
