To get a better idea, all you need are the following files

• app
• build.gradle
• settings.gradle

You could put everything else in the .gitignore file. All your app changes lies mostly in these files and folders. The rest you see in a basic project are gradle build files or Android Studio configuration files.

If you are using Android Studio, you can use "Import project" to successfully build the project. Alternatively you can build using command line, follow Building Android Projects with Gradle.
