Question: How to show the SVG files in Android-Studio, using "Android" mode? #10

Closed AndroidDeveloperLB closed 9 years ago

It's just that resources are visible there, but not the SVG files:

Do I have to switch the mode? Or is there anyway else? Is it possible to put the svg files into res/raw or assets , and while building, to ignore them ?

There isn't a way to do it right now; the Android project view is highly curated.

I don't believe there is a way to include it in /res/raw and not have it be included in the build. You could exclude those files from the source set, but then the Android project view wouldn't see it. :)

That's too bad. was hoping that a nicer integration would be possible. But it's an open IDE, no? isn't there a way to make a plugin that would make it work this way? or use gradle to do it?

I could look into it, I'm not sure how high priority it is since you can view all those resources in project mode.

I know. But project mode also shows a lot of junk and doesn't merge resources. :(

This isn't really something that can be fixed by this plugin; it's up to the IDE devs to make it compatible.
