7,406 PointsImages in drawable folder cannot be referenced
In the interactive story app, referencing the images using the R.drawable.image_name call is giving an error, cannot resolve image_name.
The drawable folder has all the necessary images and these are appearing as well when the image is double clicked.
How can this be rectified?

7,406 PointsFixed it guys, changed the location of the images. The images were in a folder, cut them from those folders and pasted them directly into the drawable folder.

7,761 PointsBe careful with the drawable folder. as it may either make the images look bad on some devices or even not display them at all.
you should only use drawable-[ldpi|mdpi|hdpi|xhdpi|xxhdpi|xxxhdpi].
p.s. why am i getting a negative point for trying to help?
