I am running Android Studio 1.1.0 and I noticed for all my projects only one drawable directory is created named "drawable". Did Android Studio do away with the 4 separate folders and implement an automatic converter?

You can just drag in the drawable folders in the project files you downloaded to create them.

2,836 PointsIf I drag over the folders it results in an error and the inability to locate files in the subdirectories. From what I have gathered online, it is not possible to go this route. We have to create sibling files not subfiles.
On Stack Overflow I found a method that I am currently trying to implement. By going to the top of the Explorer window, there is a drop down menu "Android". Click on it and by changing in to "project", the mipmap folder and subfolders are now siblings instead.
Hope that this helps :)

7,129 PointsStephen Ford. I believe if you hold alt while dragging them it gets rid of the error. If not you can right click on the appropriate directory and depending if you are on windows or mac you click find in windows explorer or show in finder respectively. From there you can drag the folders in directly. Hope this helps. Ben showed this in one of the videos.
