888 PointsQuestion about "Adding an image" video
In the "Adding an image" video on the stage 3 of Build a simple android app, there's a tooltip appearing in the video telling you to add the image to CrystalBall/bin/res/drawable-mdpi but instead it is being copied directly to CrystalBall/res/drawable-mdpi, tested it in both ways and it works the second way, the image does not show up in the resources items when being copied to the bin route. Is this an error or is there something I'm not understanding?

Treehouse TeacherAh - good catch! That's an error in the tooltip. The "bin" folder is for "binary files" that get generated when we build our project. You will almost never want to modify anything in that directory. So it should only go in CrystalBall/res/drawable-mdpi.
I'll ask one of our video pros to fix the tip. Elizabeth Fawkes, can you reward Gabriel with the Exterminator badge? :)
