How can I add an image to res/drawable
folder?
For Android Studio 1.5:
Update for Android Studio 2.2:
Right click on res, new Image Asset
On Icon Type choose Action Bar and Tab Icons
On Asset type choose Image
On Path choose your image path
Next->Finish
The image will be saved in the /res/drawable folder.
Warning! If you choose to use images other than icons in SVG or PNG be aware that it could turn grey if the image is not transparent. You can find an answer in comments for this problem but none of these are verified by me because I never encountered this problem. I suggest you to use icons from here: Material icons
Copy .png image and paste to drawable folder.
You can add image by using xml file
android:layout_width="fill_parent" android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:src="@drawable/image_name" />
OR You can set image by using program:
ImageView iv = (ImageView)findViewById(v); iv.setImageResource(R.drawable.image_name);
For Example I have to add list.png in drawable folder...
And Now I will simply paste is in drawable folder. Alternatively you can do it Ctrl + C/V, as we programmers do it. :-)
Its very simple just copy your image and paste in drawable folder. one more thing when you paste image in drawable folder a popup window will appear asking folder name add xxhdpi,xhdpi,hdpi or mdpi according to your image like below image
still having problem check this link: Drawable folder in android studio
You can just copy and paste an image file(.jpg at least) into your res/drawable. It worked for me!
Right click on the res folder and add your image as Image Assets in this way. Android studio will automatically generate image assets with different resolutions.
You CAN directly create the folder and drag image inside but you won't have the different sized icons if you do that.
Open your project in Android Studio
Click on res
Right click on drawable
Click on Show in Explorer
Double click on drawable
folder.
Copy your image file in it and rename as your wish.
Now write your image file name after @drawable/
.
It will show the image you've selected.
You need to use a third party plugin like AndroidIcons Drawable Import to install this. Goto Android Studio > Prefrences > Plugins > and browse for AndroidIcons Drawable You can do things like
Restart android studio. If you do not have the drawables folder created, create it by importing any image as -"Action Bar and Tab Icons" & "Notification Icons",. Then right clink on the file explorer and you can see 4 options in the new tab. Use any one according to your need.
Android Studio 3.0:
1) Right click directory 'drawable'.
2) Click on: Show in Explorer
Now you have an explorer opent with a few directories in it, one of then is 'drawable'.
3) Go in the directory 'drawable'.
4) Place the image you want in there.
5) Close the explorer again.
Now the image is in Android Studio under 'res/drawable'.
Simplest way is to just drag and drop the image into the drawable folder. The important thing to keep in mind if you are using Android Studio 2.2.x version make sure you are in PROJECT VIEW else it will not allow to drag and drop the image.
Install and use the Android Drawable Importer plugin:
https://github.com/winterDroid/android-drawable-importer-intellij-plugin
Instructions on how to install the plugin are on that page. It's called "Android Drawable Importer" in the plugin search results.
Once installed:
Seems kind of ridiculous that Android Studio doesn't support this directly.
EDIT: But Xcode doesn't either so.... :-(
My way of exporting/importing image assets. I use Sketch design.
Step 1. Sketch: export using Android preset
Step 2. Finder: Go to the export folder > Cmd+C
Step 3. Finder: Go to your project's /res folder > Cmd+V > Apply to all > Merge
OK, the images are in your project now.
Its quite simple
1) just copy your images and paste in drawable folder.
2) when you paste image(for eg"mdpi) in drawable folder a popup window will appear asking folder name add -mdpi .
3)Do it for all(hdpi,xhdpi,xxhdpi).
I just added one link that you can check out if have any doubt.

mipmap
folder? You just need to access it vaR.mipmap.[...]
rather thanR.drawable.[...]
Also, you can drag and drop images directly into thedrawable
folder in Android Studio - just make sure that your Project Structure is set toProject
, and notAndroid
, at the top left of the screen. – PPartisan Mar 14 '15 at 11:05
