Trouble in adding images to mipmap folder in android studio - android

I am trying to add images to mipmap folder by Batch Drawable Import but images automatically come under drawable folder as shown in screenshot. Can anyone tell me how to import images under mipmap folder?
Screenshot::

Open you file explorer and just move drawable files you want to move and paste into mipmap directory, and do not use any numerical number with image name.

Android Studio's Image Asset Studio won't recognize png file in file system

I have a png file named triedsohardicon.png I want to use for my app's launcher icon, but after putting it in the folder associated with the project, I find that Image Asset Studio doesn't show any triedsohardicon.png in its file system browser in that location.
In addition, if I put the line
android:icon="#drawable/triedsohardicon"
in AndroidManifest.xml (because I did in fact put the png file in the TriedSoHard/app/src/main/res/drawable folder), the text in quotes just returns the error "Cannot resolve symbol '#drawable/triedsohardicon'".
The png has dimensions 512x512. I could use some help, please.
Launcher Icon should be placed in mipmap res\mipmap\triedsohardicon.png
Place your launcher Icon through Image Asset like below:
Upload and Save the png and it will be placed in mipmap automatically.
In Maifest:
android:icon="#mipmap/triedsohardicon"
Hope this helps.

Trouble with adding image source in android studio

I am trying to add a source image to an ImageView in Android Studio. I placed the image in the res/drawable folder. I have the same image placed in mdpi,hdpi,xhdpi,xxhdpi,and xxxhdpi.
However when I try to add the path to the image in xml it does not even show up. I have attached a screenshot of what I have.
Also I tried to clean and rebuild the project and still I cannot access the images in the drawable folder.
I should add that if I try and add the images to the mipmap folders. It works just fine and I can set the path of the images to mipmap.
You created the extra drawables folders inside of the main drawable folder instead of using the existing folders in the res/ directory. (See the mipmap folders?)
Also, don't need png extension in the XML, just the filename
In your XML remove file extension and replace . with _
android:src="#drawable/podcast_ac_new_2_9"

adding images to drawable folder - showing blank image

while adding images to drawable folder using image asset i come accross this
How to solve this issue?
there is not any problem its the new window to add image asset android studio designed.
choose the image for asset type and give the path. then the android studio will generate different size of your image asset in different mipmap folders.
its a lot easier than before. if you dont want to use mipmap folders just copy and paste your file into youre desired folder in android studio manually.

How to create a new folder inside the drawable folder and reference an image from it?

I am working on an ANDROID project where I have a lot of images and I want to organize it.
So I need to create folder inside the drawable folder.
But I don't know how to reference it in my program.
For eg: I have an image named "image.png" and I want to place it in drawable/myicons/image.png
or anywhere inside the res folder.
This is duplicate question
You can not create folder inside drawable
the resources mechanism doesn't support subfolders in the drawable directory
However you can use the assets folder and have sub directories in there and load images that way.

Can't access images inside res/drawable in Android

I am new to Android development. To implement a photo gallery app, tutorial said to add images to res/drawable and access them via R.drawable.image1 .. etc. But there is no drawable folder default in eclipse, then I created a one and add images. But cannot access images, there is no option in R.drawable. as "image1"
Any idea ?
you should create "drawable" folder under "res", and you'd best place png image files in that folder. When accessing these image files programmingly.set an image for an ImageView for example:
Drawable imgDrawable=getResources().getDrawable(R.drawable.yourImageFileName));
imgView.setImageDrawable(imgDrawable);
Sometimes the drawable folder is not created by default Instead it will have "drawable-hdpi","drawable-mdpi" and "drawable-ldpi".These folders are for placing images for various screen densities to support different resolutions.Your "drawable folder" is for baseline medium density.
In your case create a folder named "drawable" under "res" and place your image inside that folder and you will be able to access it using R.id.imagename .Try refreshing the project and check whether you have created the drawable folder under the res folder.Also check the case of the folder name that you have created.
I faced same problem , but when i added those images again in jpg format it worked.
Might work for you too.
My System was based on windows 10 & was using android studio 4
