I'm developing an Android app and storing all the relevant files in a git repository.

Now, I created an icon in SVG and exported it into several PNG. As usual, I placed the PNG in the relevant res/drawable directories.

The question is where should I store the SVG? It should not be contained in the resulting apk (therefore it's not an asset).

I'm thinking about a folder named media that would contain SVGs and possibly other outputs. Like:

media/
media/res/drawables/
    ic_launcher.svg
media/apk/
    app-1.0.apk    (signed apks)
    app-1.1.apk
media/screenshot/
    screen1.png    (screenshots published in a store)
    screen2.png

Is this a correct approach?

Where exactly should the media folder be located? What is the usual naming convention?

You can use svg's directly with latest development tools. – 1615903 Dec 29 '15 at 09:07
OK. And what about the other content like apks and screenshots? Where do they go? – Jaromír Malenko Dec 30 '15 at 11:22
Usually people use some sort of build artifact repository. See here for some recommendations: http://stackoverflow.com/a/11437695/1615903 – 1615903 Dec 31 '15 at 06:19
