Theare aren't different drawable folders on Android Studio

Question

I m trying to integrate different image size in my app but the problem is that in Android Studio there are not the drawable-Idpi,mdpi,hdpi,xhdpi folders. I ve checked already other threads and the answers were that I just need to skip into the Project view instead of the Android one. But the results are the same. There is just one generale folder called drawable

And if I try to add another resource folders the drawable is missing.

Answer 1

Just create a new folder:

Right click 'res' folder --> New --> Android Resource Directory.

In the wizard, select drawable as 'Resource Type'. And then 'Density' from the resource qualifiers.

With regard to the 'mipmaps' folders, Android now prefers app icons in these folders because it can use an icon in a different density to the screen density.

Answer 2

I had the same problem before. I fixed it by downloading an icon that i wanted from http://www.icons4android.com/

now this site provides all the drawable-Idpi,mdpi,hdpi,xhdpi folders for download for each icon they have, I just highlighted all the drawable-Idpi,mdpi,hdpi,xhdpi folders, copied them, and then pasted them to android studio res folder. (I did this in android view)

I hope this helps
