Android: Resources and Intents: JP Lafond TF, Cs76

The document discusses the directory structure for resources in an Android application. It describes the purpose of various "res" directories like "res/color", "res/drawable", and "res/layout" which contain colors, images, and UI layouts respectively. It also notes that dimensions should be specified in "dip" so they scale properly for different devices. Additionally, it covers the "res/values" directory for project variables and the use of "intents" to pass data between application activities.
