Eclipse “invalid resource directory name”

Question

Whenever I try to add a resource folder to my Android project in Eclipse (3.7.0), I always get the following error:

invalid resource directory name: C:\\path         


        

Answer 1

Folders in the res-Folder are only allowed to be those defined by Android, for example "drawable". See http://developer.android.com/guide/topics/resources/available-resources.html for more information. If you choose anything else you get the error "invalid resource directory name" when building your project.

Answer 3

Just learned something!

FYI I 'm trying to store some audio files, created the folder audio under \res and got the same error. Then after some reading somebody wrote somewhere that \assets folder is a good folder for data files that don't change. So I placed my audio under \assets.

Answer 5

For putting your resources like .mp3 files, create a folder named /raw under /res folder and store your files in it.And of course clean your project after this.

This will definitely solve your problem.
