Answer 1

One of the new features that came with Android Studio 3.2.1

You can actually edit them, but when they will be regenerated, all your edits will be lost. If you open one such file, Android Studio will show the message:

Files under the "build" folder are generated and should not be edited.

And if you try to edit it anyway, the message changes to:

Generated source files should not be edited. The changes will be lost when sources are regenerated
