Where to place the 'assets' folder in Android Studio?

Question

I am confused about the assets folder. It doesn\'t come auto-created in Android Studio, and almost all the forums in which this is discussed talk about Eclipse.

In android studio you can specify where the source, res, assets folders are located. for each module/app in the build.gradle file you can add something like:

android {
    compileSdkVersion 21
    buildToolsVersion "21.1.1"

    sourceSets {
        main {
            java.srcDirs = ['src']
            assets.srcDirs = ['assets']
            res.srcDirs = ['res']
            manifest.srcFile 'AndroidManifest.xml'
        }
    }
}
