How to add a localized image into an app resources?

Issue

I'm trying to add localized image assets like in the tutorial: https://developer.android.com/training/basics/supporting-devices/languages.html

I tried hard and searched for how to do it but I can't find how.

On the Android project tree, there's an option to create a new directory, I create one with my desired language. The directory is not visible on the Android project view, but is visible on the Project view tree.

After this I try to configure a new image asset, but there's no option to specify the language.

There's also the option to create a new resource file, this has an option to select the language but has no option to create image assets.

So, how do I do it?

Solution

Your link was right... (emphasis added)

To add support for more locales, create additional directories inside res/. Each directory's name should adhere to the following format:

<resource type>-b+<language code>[+<country code>]

For example, values-b+es/ contains string resources for locales with the language code es. Similarly, mipmap-b+es+ES/ contains icons for locales with the es language code and the ES country code

So, you can add your localized images under some res/drawable-b+CODE or res/mipmap-b+CODE directory.

Perhaps not, but that doesn't stop you from moving a file into the proper location.
