what is ids.xml used for?
<p>Just a quick question, what is the ids.xml used for when developing an Android app?
I saw an example on the android resources webpage which contained:</p>

<pre><code>    &lt;resources&gt;
        &lt;item type="id" name="snack" /&gt;
    &lt;/resources&gt;
</code></pre>

<p>What would this be used for?</p>
