Android Studio Drawable Folder How to put Images for Multiple dpi

Question

Hi as per android documentation the drawable folder needs to have multiple sub-directories for images of different dpis  However in Android Studio creating any sub directory in the drawable folder causes it to fail to detect any images at all  On the other hand if an image is placed directly in the drawable folder it gets detected and becomes available for use view R drawable ImageName  In this case how do we use different dpi images for the same ImageName

The easiest way I have found to have the proper  directory  structure appear under the drawable folder for my icons is this    Right click  Drawable  Click on  New   then  Image Asset  Change  Asset Type  to  Action Bar and Tab Icons  For  Foreground  choose  ClipArt  For  Clipart  click and  Choose  button and pick any icon For  Resource Name  type in you icon file name   Now the pseudo-directories have been created for you under the Drawable folder in the Android view  Open up the true directories on your file system  main res drawable-xxhdpi    main res drawable-xhdpi  and replace the icons in each folder with your own of the proper density

Simply go to project Explorer and  change your View from Android to project from drop Down and you are good to go There you can simply create folder like we do in Eclipse  And in android project view it is hidden but when you switch to project  You can create folder like drawable-hdpi drawable-xhdpi

You don t create subfolders of the drawable folder but rather  sibling  folders next to it under the  res folder for the different screen densities or screen sizes   The  drawable folder  without any dimension  is mostly used for drawables that don t relate to any screen sizes like selectors    See this screenshot  use the name drawable-hdpi instead of mipmap-hdpi
