How to give icon path to xml in android

Question

I've created a directory inside drawable directory which contains two icons "empty_star.png". Now how to give address of these icons in style.xml

i tried following:

 <item android:state_selected="true"
    android:state_window_focused="true"
    android:drawable="drawable/icons/empty_star" />

<item android:drawable="drawable/icons/empty_star" />

but it shows error.

i also tried @drwable/icons/empty_star but still getting error.

try this `drawable/empty_star`.. – M S Gadag Jan 06 '15 at 07:04 — M S Gadag, Jan 06 '15 at 07:04

Android does not support subfolders in the drawable directory. You should keep all the images in the `/res/drawable` directory. – max59 Jan 06 '15 at 07:18

The resources mechanism doesn't support subfolders in the drawable directory. You need to keep that hierarchy flat. Place your images in drawable folder and use it as android:drawable="@drawable/empty_star"

Can the Android drawable directory contain subdirectories?

According to the answer posted earlier, resource mechanism does not support sub folders in drawable folder. So you should maintain flat hierarchy.
