Good day! As far as I know, resource files can be grouped by directories only in the assets directory, in other resource directories all files should be on the same level. Are there any opportunities for a more or less convenient way to manage resources?

    You can give them grouped consoles. For example, first_screen_image_button - Vladyslav Matviienko

The hierarchy of folders and files in the android project has a strictly defined structure and cannot be changed.

In Android Studio, a new project tree view mode has been introduced - Android (installed by default) instead of the Project mode in IntelliJ IDEA, in which some attempts have been made to group files in the project tree, so instead of a heap of folders: drawable-hdpi / , draweble-xhdpi / etc , one drawable / folder with files inside it: image.png (hdpi) , image.png (xhdpi) and so on. Similarly for other resource folders. Naturally, this is only a view in the studio tree and does not affect the actual folder structure of the project. This is where the standard features end.

There is a plugin for the Android File Grouping studio , which creates an additional virtual separation of files in a project into subfolders according to the principle that, for example, the file name: activity_main.xml - the plugin converts the presentation so that in the layout folder / there will be a virtual folder called activity / , and there is a main.xml file in it, respectively, all files that begin with activity_ will be in the same virtual folder, starting with another line, for example, fragment_ * will be in the folder fragment / and so on. Naturally, no changes are made to the real structure of the project directories.

Perhaps with the help of Gradle. In the file app.gradle you need to create folders:

 sourceSets { main { res.srcDirs = [ 'src/main/res-main', 'src/main/res-screen/about', 'src/main/res-screen/chat', 'src/main/res-screen/event-detail', 'src/main/res-screen/event-list', 'src/main/res-screen/home', 'src/main/res-screen/login', ] } }

    There is an Android File Grouping Plugin plugin: https://github.com/dmytrodanylyk/folding-plugin

    But there is a possibility that it may not work, because The last update of the plugin was 4 years ago.
