I had no drawable folders in my android studio, instead I had mipmap folders, what do I do?

I have no drawable folders in my app when I navigate through app>src>main>java>res, instead I have a bunch of mipmap folders, what do I do about this?

Hey Rodi! The mipmap folders are just a new set of folders for your app's icons. To get drawable folders you just need to create them. If you browse to your res directory in a file explorer you should see a bunch of different mipmap folders (e.g. mipmap-hdpi). Just create whichever drawable folders you need and name them similarly (e.g. drawable-hdpi), and you should be good to go!
