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.
