Application Name: Now its a time to give a name to your project . I give “Awesome ” as Application name.
Project Name : Is the name we are going to inside the android workspace.We could keep this the same as Application name, but just for the sake of more understanding we give it different name as “AwesomeNew”
Package Name: This must a unique name as it is unique identifier for your application. My package name should be different to your package name , otherwise user will not be able to have two application of same at a time inside the device.
Minimum Required SDK: This is the lowest version of android that your application will support. Today i am going to change it to API 17 and see later what will happen after that.
