I'm using the newest version 1.3.2. When I try to add the image to the imageview, I can't select any of the images. I checked and they are in the drawable folder of the project.

res
|--drawable
| |--drawable-hdpi
| |--drawable-mdpi
| \--[other drawable folders...]
|
|--layout
\--[etc...]
Instead it should look like this.
res
|--drawable
|--drawable-hdpi
|--drawable-mdpi
|--[other drawable folders...]
|--layout
\--[etc...]

2,277 PointsHi, thanks for the answer. My current android studio looks like this at the moment. When I open, let's say the main_title.png, it shows the correct images. But in the Resources tab I can't find them anywhere to add them to the ImageView.
