The Android view hides some of the views that you don't need to see, merging some files
But some catalogs are not real. And when you create directories and files, you cannot locate the actual path.
This is really inconvenient for people who are accustomed to looking at the real path.
In Project view, you can hide files or directories that you don't care about to achieve an effect similar to the Android view, better fit our view habits
Hide unused files, such as the project configuration file for idea (*.IML and *.idea), open Settings-file Types, and add the file suffix to be hidden.
In the end there is this sentence: Ignore files and floders (hidden files and directories) we just need to add the files and directories we want to hide in the back.
It is recommended to add this: in fact, the contents and files of the white label in the blog post (note that it is appended later)
. idea;*.iml;build;gradle;gradlew;gradlew.bat;gradle.properties;local.properties;

It's almost like the Ecplise view.
Make the project view and Anroid view of Android studio similar
