Looks good, thanks @KristinaPeterson.

## Configure Amplify and DataStore

First, we'll add the DataStore plugin and configure Amplify by creating an Application class and overriding the `onCreate()` method.
1. Navigate to the **example.todo** folder located at **ToDo** > **app** > **src** > **main** > **java/kotlin** > **com** > **example.todo**

The . in example.todo:

This probably is a valid instruction, if the user is navigating a UI pane in Android Studio. Android Studio will break from listing directory structure, and instead list Java packages in some cases. In Android projects, directory structure and java package identifiers match, except for / being written as ., instead.

Not sure if this is worth clarifying, or how best to do it (without getting into trivialities.)

TLDR: example.todo is actually a directory path itself, **example** > **todo**.
