xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"

package="com.example.wenchen.helloworld"
This attribute defines the base package for the following Java elements. It must be unique as the Google Play only allows application for a specific package once. Therefore, the reverse domain name such as com.userid as a package name avoids collisions with other developers.

<application
