Android Studio drawable folders

In Android Studio, I can't figure out where to put images to be used inside the app. The drawable folder isn't broken down into drawable-hdpi, drawable-ldpi, etc. I saw another question asking this and the answer was to switch to Project view instead of Android view but drawable is only one folder there too. There is mipmap-hdpi, mipmap-ldpi, etc, but people are saying that's only for app icons. I'm confused.

Solution 1:

Actually you have selected Android from the tab change it to project.

Steps

Then you will found all folders.

Solution 2:

If you don't see a drawable folder for the DPI that you need, you can create it yourself. There's nothing magical about it; it's just a folder which needs to have the correct name.

Solution 3:

In order to create the drawable directory structure for different image densities, You need to:

1. Right-click on the \res folder
2. Select new > android resource directory

3. In the New Resource Directory window, under Available qualifiers resource type section, select drawable.

4. Add density and choose the appropriate size.
