How to create subfolders inside res/drawable directory?

  • 772

I have many images and I need to organize them in a better way, for this it would be very useful to create folders where I could store them by categories, I can't do it, I have done searches and the frequent solution is: Add the images assigning them a nomenclature.

img_a

img_b

img_c

    No, the Android resource mechanism doesn't support subfolders of the directory drawable, so you should keep the structure as is.

    Adding subfolders would cause none of the images within them to be available.

    It seems that having a subfolder with anything inside the folder res/drawablewill cause the resource compiler to fail, preventing the file R.javafrom being generated correctly.

    What you could do to have everything more organized is to put the images with names that categorize them, for example: 

    res/drawable
-- drawable_grupo_1_img_a.png
-- drawable_grupo_1_img_b.png
-- drawable_grupo_2_img_c.png
