‫Welcome back.
‫In this video we're going to learn about the Mipmap folder and the Xaml folders.
‫The Mipmap folder is a special resource directory used for storing launcher icons for your Android application.
‫The terms Mipmap stands for Multi Density Image Map, and it's designed to store versions of the launcher
‫icon optimized for different screen densities.
‫The primary purpose of the Mipmap folder is to store launcher icons.
‫So if you click on ESI Underscore Launcher, this is our launcher icon, which are the app icons that
‫appear on the device's home screen and in the app drawer.
‫And this is the file ESI underscore launcher XML file and it's of type adaptive icon.
‫You can set the background.
‫You can choose any Drover asset or any other icons, for example this or the gradient background.
‫You can see the gradient background is applied to this icon.
‫Also the foreground I can set it to this.
‫And now the apps icon is designed like this.
‫The Xaml folder in Android Studio is used to store Xaml files that can be used for various purposes
‫in Android applications.
‫These files can contain data, configuration settings, or other information that your app needs to
‫access during runtime.
‫The Xaml folder is commonly used for storing configuration files, data files, or resource files that
‫are expressed in XML format.
‫For example, the network configuration storing network related configurations.
‫Also, this folder is used to store preferences for your app using XML and for storing data in XML format
‫that your app reads during runtime.
‫To create a new Xaml file, click on this package new and Xaml resource file.
‫Here you create your new Xaml file.
‫I'll name it as Network Underscore Configuration and this is your new Xaml file.
‫Go to split mode and here we go.
‫This is our Xaml file.
