Android Studio totally can't find new resource folders

Issue

I correctly added the "newfolder", using select Project, then new Resource Directory under res, choosing mipmap type folder etc.

No matter what I do, the new files (example "teste") will NOT APPEAR as a drawable in Project.

(New pngs I drop in to "mipmap-xxhdpi" work perfectly ... notice "hamburger" etc. appears fine.)

i HAVE rebuilt, cleaned, invalidated-caches-restart.

Absolutely no difference.

What's the deal?

This on a Mac, latest everything. (I'll try the project on a PC and report.)

Solution

I correctly added the "newfolder"

By definition, that is incorrect. You cannot invent new resource types, like newfolder.

No matter what I do, the new files (example "teste") will NOT APPEAR as a drawable in Project.

That is because it is not a drawable. If you want to create a drawable resource, put it in a drawable resource directory. For example, perhaps instead of newfolder-xxhdpi, you might create drawable-xxhdpi.
