Google’s tool for creating an Android project insists on creating a 
subdirectory hierarchy corresponding to the package naming hierarchy. Thus, 
if you name your class “com.example.test_project.Main”, it will put 
Main.java inside the subdirectory src/com/example/test_project/.

But it turns out no part of the build process depends on this: you can put 
all source files at the top level of your “src” subdirectory, and the 
project still builds just fine.
