When I paste an image or icon into the folder drawable Default choices do not appear Like : xxhdpi,xhdpi,hdpi or mdpi look at the picture :
I used the same method in previous times but Now these choices do not appear His method was very easy through selections xxhdpi,xhdpi,hdpi or mdpi in popup window But now what will I do?
I want to import the same icon But in different sizes , It is inside the drawable folder .
I want to show me such a list
You need to create all required folder manually.
like hdpi,mdpi,xhdpi,xxhdpi,xxxhdpi etc and then after that options appear.
If u have all folder types(drawable hdpi,drawable mdpi,drawable xhdpi,drawable xxhdpi,drawable xxxhdpi), just copy these folders, in res\ by right click on res folder and just paste, then android studio update drawable folder to new changes.

I am facing the issue in adding the different density images in drawable folder in android studio.
In the above image i added the images in drawable folder with single density image. I want to add the different density images in a single directory .In below image drawar_shadow.png directory has multiple density images.How can i create the directory like that and add the different density images.I searched in the stack overflow ,i didn't get any idea top solve this.
The drawar_shadow.png you are mentioning is in different folders on your filesystem in actual. This is Android Studio's way of showing it you. You can just add your images in respective folders and Android Studio will show them like this.
Select Project instead of Android in the top dropdown
go to res/ and create your folders with different density there.. OR simply you can use mipmap folder for this purpose
All or Correct Change the Project structure instead of Android Structure. Just your view display separate folder
For Others... add image with different density
button is pressed and select the picture and click ok
if u want change the directory edit button is press.
The easiest way I have found to have the proper "directory" structure appear under the drawable folder for my icons is this. Follow the steps:
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 inside the "res" in the Android view.
To add new icons just copy and paste them in drawable the popup will appear showing the different options select according to your need and add.
I am trying to create drawable-hdpi drawable-xxhdpi drawable-ldpifolders for different screens but unable to create as it says the folders already exist but i can't see them also when trying to create drawable-xxhdpi folder on click nothing happens no folder's are create
Screenshots below
Can't see any drawable-xhdpi folder although it says it exist
Here on clicking OK nothing happens no folder is created
Yes it already exist.
you have to change the project structure
Click on top left dropdown where Android Appears.
Select project from this dropdown and you will be able to see all drawbale folders.
Its because you might not have any files inside your res/drawable-xxx folders
To access them, change your project navigation:
To do so, check the top left pane for some written as 1 Project click on that or alternatively press Alt+1 here, if you see the default selection will be Android with an android bot click on the two left-right arrow icons select Project Files and then navigate!
You do not need to explicitly create the drawable folders for different resolutions.
Whenever you will add any image to the project's drawable folder, by clicking right on the drawable folder and pasting the image there, a dialog will open up, that will ask you to select from drawable-hdpi, drawable-mdpi, drawable-xhdpi, and drawable-xxhdpi.
You can then select the suitable one from the drop down, and you will be able to see the distinctions within the drawable folder itself.
I have a file with a bunch of images saved on my computer that I need to use for an app I'm creating. I've searched for how to do this, but most everything leads nowhere. The most promising thing I found was to right click, file path, and click the file I need. This worked up until the last step. Here's some screenshots:

I need the "CoolCalc" folder, but when clicked nothing happens. Yes, I've tried restarting. I'm so lost on why nothing's working
1) If you want to just place images as is with no changing size, just move them into the drawable fodler. You can click Show in Explorer.
2) If you want your images to be used as icon of the app or tabs for example, then Android Studio can auto create different sizes for you. Right click on res, pick new and choose Image Asset, then pick image path and give it a name, you can apply some additional changes there.
3) For more sophisticated image addition you can add a plugin such as Android Drawable Importer
https://plugins.jetbrains.com/plugin/7658?pr=
UPD: "File path" just shows you where your folder/file is located. In your case your drawable folder as seen on your screenshot is located at C:\Users(your username not in English language, it seems, that's why it bugged)\AndroidStudioProjects\CoolCalc\app\src\main\res\drawable
If i understood right you have images on a folder and you want to put them in your app right?, Click in Show in Explorer this will open a the Drawable window then you can move the images
or you can move the folder to your assets
I'm trying to add some Buttons with drawables to my App in Android Studio.
I found the drawables:
ic_menu_camera,
ic_menu_gallery,
ic_menu_manage,
ic_menu_send,
ic_menu_share and
ic_menu_slideshow.
Is there an option to get drawables like "_home, _screen_mirrowing"
Thanks!!
Create your own home and screen_mirrowing images ,You will get option on Right click of mouse on project explorer area New->Asset->
* give your customized image name there
You can basically add any image to your project. Right-click on res -> drawable, and choose New -> Image Asset or New -> Vector Asset. Then you could choose Icon Type as Action Bar and Tab Icons, then in the Asset Type choose Image. Next put in the path to the image you want. For me, I found ic_menu_camera, etc., in the folder C:\Users\myUserId\AppData\Local\Android\Sdk\platforms\android-26\data\res\drawable-xhdpi
Android Studio will then create image resources in your project for various sizes.

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.
