Cannot Find Drawable Directory in Android Studio

Question

I am trying to open Asset Studio in Android. My textbook says to right-click on the drawable directory. Where can I find the drawable directory?

Here is a link to a screenshot of the folders in my res directory

Res Folders

instead of drawable you have mimap. Just create drawable folder for each density inside you project structure and you are good to go. — Rafal, Sep 28 '16 at 14:25
you have selected project files at the top.Change that to project — kgandroid, Sep 28 '16 at 14:27
@kgandroid selecting project files also showed my drawables folder. — Prudhvi, Sep 28 '16 at 14:29
Project, not project files is selected. I am a very new Android programmer so how do you create a drawable folder in each density? — rpach17, Sep 28 '16 at 14:36

1.Click on app folder 2.Then src 3.Then main 4.Then res 5.Then you can find the drawable folders

Make sure that Project is selected at the top.

That is what I thought but I am not seeing any drawable folders. – rpach17 Sep 28 '16 at 14:19
Can you post a screenshot in your question – Prudhvi Sep 28 '16 at 14:19
Posted the screenshot – rpach17 Sep 28 '16 at 14:23
Simple go to any xml where drawable is used and press F3 on it. It will find files for you. Additionally Android studio have this "Scroll from source" button which directs you to file in project structure. – Rafal Sep 28 '16 at 14:24

I could see drawable folder in my android studio even if project is not selected at top – Prudhvi Sep 28 '16 at 14:26
Project is selected on the top. Pressing F3 does nothing – rpach17 Sep 28 '16 at 14:26
you have selected project files at the top.Change that to project – kgandroid Sep 28 '16 at 14:27
then create a drawable folder manually inside res...but drawable folder should be created by default – kgandroid Sep 28 '16 at 14:29

You can create a new drawable folder.

Right click on res > New > Directory.

Name it as "drawable".

drawable

If you want to add drawable folders for different densities,

Right click on res > New > Android resource directory.

enter image description here

In the window that appears write "Directory name" as drawable. In the section under it choose "Density" and click on ">>" button. Enter the required density. hit Ok.

This actually solves the issue? Do I have to do anything else with it? – rpach17 Sep 28 '16 at 14:38
