I'm developing an Android application and I want to add a custom font. I read about the epic assets folder and her location over some themes like this. I check my src folder - it's not there. I check almost every single directory from my project tree and I still can't find her. Here is the picture of my directory tree.
And by the way, on my previous project, on Android 0.6 I used to add a custom font but I don't remember where was the folder located and now, on Android Studio 0.8 I even can't find my folder.

Did you try just adding it yourself? Just put it in the `main` folder. – Andrew Schuster Jul 08 '14 at 15:57

Under your main folder you need to make an assets directory.
Right click on the "main" folder -> New -> Directory
And then name it "assets" and here is what it should now look like (minus the xml file of course)

there was some assets folder in res and i was getting error when accessing resources. This fixed everything. I think studio does not creates the assets folder in correct location....@DoubleElite thanks a lot. – chetan Apr 21 '16 at 22:31

Todays IDEs do most of the work for you. But if they fail, why you not just try to do it yourself? Place your assets-folder in src\main\assets and you should be fine.
