Organizing your Source Files
Android applications should always be neatly organized with a clear folder structure that makes your code easy to read. The way to do this is to logically group related things together into sub-packages within your application. Make sure every app has the following subpackages:
-
com.example.myapp.activities- Contains all activities -
com.example.myapp.adapters- Contains all custom adapters -
com.example.myapp.models- Contains all our data models -
com.example.myapp.fragments- Contains all fragments -
com.example.myapp.helpers- Contains all helpers (custom code that supports the app). -
com.example.myapp.interfaces- Contains all interfaces
Keeping these folders in each app means that code is logically organized and scanning the code is a pleasant experience.
