Wtf does this do

This repository is a collection of small example Android app projects focused on user interface features. Android is the operating system used on most smartphones worldwide, and Android Studio is the official tool developers use to build apps for it. Each sample here demonstrates a specific way to build or style part of an app's interface, giving developers working code to look at and adapt. Note that most of the samples in this repository have been moved to a newer location called platform-samples, and this repository is no longer being updated. The README links to the new location. If you are looking for current Android UI examples, the platform-samples repository is the better place to start. To use the samples that remain here, you clone the repository to your computer and open individual project folders in Android Studio. The projects are written in Kotlin, which is the language Google recommends for building Android apps. Support questions can be directed to Stack Overflow, and the repository accepts contributions via pull requests.
