De Re BASIC!
Your APK does not need anything in assets/rfo-basic. Delete the entire folder:
8.
In the Package Explorer, right-click Cats/assets/rfo-basic and select Delete.
9.
In the confirmation window that appears, click OK.
10.
You are done making changes! It wouldn't hurt to do a Project->Clean here.
Testing the APK
We are now ready to test this practice APK.
The first thing you will do is to create a Keystore. The Keystore is used to sign your application. Google
Play requires this signing. Android devices will not install unsigned APKs. You will use this one Keystore
for all your APKs. Preserve and protect it. You will not be able to update your APK without it.
For more information about the Keystore and signing, see:
http://developer.android.com/tools/publishing/app-signing.html
