Please explaing IntelliJ IDEA's folders bin, assets and libs

Could someone 开发者_StackOverflow社区(crazycoder or other team member) from IntelliJ's team explain the intention of the following folders in IntelliJ Android project: /bin, /assets, /libs.

I can assume that the /libs is used for external libraries, and I saw that /assets has been used for storing PhoneGap files. I have never seen usage of bin folder.

Thanks

It's a common Android project structure not specific to IntelliJ IDEA.

• assets folder is for raw resources that your application can access via AssetManager.
• libs is a common place for native libraries (.so files built with NDK).
• bin folder used as output directory by the Ant build of the Android project and is created automatically by Android SDK. IDEA doesn't use this folder

IDEA allows to customize locations of libs and assets folders in Android Facet settings.
