Can anybody explain me in simple words what is the use of Manifest file and R.java file in android.
Why do we need these files while making an application?
The manifest is a special file that can contain information about the files packaged in a JAR file. By tailoring this "meta" information that the manifest contains, you enable the JAR file to serve a variety of purposes.
The web app manifest is a JSON file that tells the browser about your Progressive Web App and how it should behave when installed on the user's desktop or mobile device.
A manifest can contain only one application node. It uses attributes to specify the metadata for your application (including its title, icon, and theme).

Every application must have an AndroidManifest.xml file (with precisely that name) in its root directory. The manifest presents essential information about the application to the Android system, information the system must have before it can run any of the application's code
R.Java
