How to find the libs folder in Android Studio? If you are unable to find the libs folder in Android studio then open your android project in “Project” mode If the project is already opened in the “Android” mode. Then go to Your Project Name > app > libs and right-click on it and paste the downloaded JAR files.
In the drop down menu click on the new option. After this a drop down menu opens here you will see directory option just click on that. After this enter the name of your directory / folder and press enter this will create a new folder / directory inside your root folder.
lib is short for library which is often used for common files, utility classes, imported dependencies, or 'back in the days' also for dlls for (desktop) applications. It's in general a 'library' of supporting code for the core application.
The solution for me was very simple (after 10 hours of searching). Above where your folders are there is a combobox that says "android" click it and choose "Project".
Click the left side dropdown menu "android" and choose "project" to see libs folders
*after choosing project you will see the libs directory
libs and Assets folder in Android Studio:
Create libs folder inside app folder and Asset folder inside main in the project directory by exploring project directory.
Now come back to Android Studio and switch the combo box from Android to Project. enjoy...
Another strange thing. You wont see the libs folder in Android Studio, unless you have at least 1 file in the folder. So, I had to go to the libs folder using File Explorer, and then place the jar file there. Then, it showed up in Android Studio.
