18 Assets
So far, you have dealt with the main way Android gives you to ship images, XML, and other such non-Java things: the resources system. In this chapter, you will learn about another way of packaging content to ship with your app: assets.

It helps with the hard part: yelling in a manner calculated to frighten your opponent into submission.
