res/menu and res/xml are not there

Question

When I try to create a new menu resource file in res/menu as stated in the guide, the folder is not there. Neither is res/xml. Can someone tell me how

Answer 1

You should be able to create the folder with no issues. Check that you have write permissions on that folder. Also you can try to right click on the res folder and go to new then other. In the window that pops up select Android -> Android XML File. In the new window you can use the radio group to select what type of file you want to create. This should create the folders for you.
