Organizing include XML layout files

Question

I have dozens of XML layouts that are used solely for the purpose of including them within other layouts.

I've tried creating a folder called includes under the layout directory, but that apparently doesn't work.

How then should I organize my include layouts? Where should I put them all?

the accepted answer to this question might help .. http://stackoverflow.com/questions/4930398/can-the-android-layout-folder-contain-subfolders .. its possible to use gradle to merge multiple layout folders together. — trooper, Aug 23 '15 at 22:42

Sadly Android doesn't recognize itself different layouts folders. But with gradle you can configure several folders for your layouts (or other xmls)

Add the folders in your app gradle

sourceSets {
    main {
        res.srcDirs = ['src/main/res', 'src/main/res2']
    }
}
