As the question mentions, what happens when AndroidStudio does indexing? What is the use of indexing?
Could somebody please help me understand.

while Android studio is using InteliJ idea :
Indexing in IntelliJ IDEA is responsible for the core features of the IDE: code completion, inspections, finding usages, navigation, syntax highlighting, and refactorings.
It starts when you open your project, switch between branches, after you load or unload plugins, and after large external file updates. For example, this can happen if multiple files in your project are created or generated after you build your project.
