If you want to do this easily from within Android Studio then on the left side  right above your file directory you will see a dropdown with options on how to view your files like    Project  Android  and Packages  plus a list of Scopes    If you are on Android it makes it hard to see when you add new folders or assets to your project - BUT if you change the dropdown to PROJECT then the file directory will match the file system on your computer  then go to   app   src   main   res  From here you can find the conventional Eclipse type files like drawable drawable-hdpi drawable-mdpi and so on where you can easily drag and drop files into or import into and instantly see them  As soon as you see your files here they will be available when going to assign image src s and so on    Good luck Android Warriors in a strange new world
