I've added this attribute to my XML.
android:background="#drawable/background"
"#drawable/background" refers to the file background.psd which is located in the drawable folder.
The background does not appear when i run it (in the emulator).
What am i missing?
You can't use psd files as drawables. Try saving it as png.

I am having a rather annoying scenario where I work with a lot of drawable shapes, many of which are slightly changed variants of others. The annoying thing is, when I paste the drawable, it automatically defaults to a random resource folder. See bellow photo. I want it to go directly to the standard drawable folder, not some other density drawable folders without having to manually change the folder every single time.
Is this even possible?
You can change the View from Android to Project if you are copying & pasting multiple images in a row. You can simply paste it to the drawable folder.
When put images on drawable v24 app crashes , and use the same image
in drawable work correctly.
Look at which line your app is crashing in Logcat. You will be calling the resource file like this: R.drawable.yourresource. In this case it will work fine. If you change this line to R.drawableV24.yourresource and place the resource file in drawable V24 folder, it will work.
It all depends on how you identify the resource file :)
Please check your image drawable folder if the image in drawableV24 so transfer it in an only drawable folder and check it
Image resources placed in the res/drawable/ directory may be automatically optimized with lossless image compression by the aapt tool during the build process.

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"
How do I use an image that is in the mipmap folder as an xml resource, similar to
src="#drawable/myimg"
Just use mipmap instead of drawable
src="#mipmap/myimg"
you should be able to use #mipmap. Be aware that mipmap should be only used for the icon launcher. For your app, you should use always drawable
I have this code:
android:drawable="#pickuptools.png"
the picture is called pickuptools.png and is inside the folder drawable-xhdpi.
I have tried #drawable-xhdpi/pickuptools.png, pickuptools without the file extension, and many more.
I can't find the picture through the XML.
The XML is located inside the drawable-xhdpi folder.
What am I doing wrong?
Use:
android:drawable="#drawable/picuptools"
You don't need to use #drawable-xhdpi or something. For any resources , you should use resource type(In your case its drawable) and name of the resource.
