You cannot. Custom folders in res folder are not supported.

Just Put the images you trying to access into your (drawable) folder, because in android the res folder has specific folder names like (values,mipmap,anim,drawable ...) , and you can't create new folder name , it will not be recognized.

Custom folders in res folder are not supported. Better To create raw folder or asset folder for this purpose

raw/

Arbitrary files to save in their raw form. To open these resources with a raw InputStream, call Resources.openRawResource() with the resource ID, which is R.raw.filename.
