Whats the difference between the 2 Android folders in new project

cocos2d-x
#1

I want to know what is the difference between “proj.android” and “proj.android-studio” are they the same thing ?

#2

proj.android -> usable with Eclipse and ant, but it’s deprecated because the Android SDK can’t be used
proj.android-studio -> usable with Android Studio and gradle; this is the way to go

Technically, you can still use the command-line and build projects depending upon the Android SDK version you are using. Newer versions of the Android SDK no longer provide the android command-line app that Cocos2d-x relied on.

Android Studio is really nice and has come a long way these last few years. It is relatively easy to get started but you need to study it to become proficient in the tool.
