How is the Image Asset Studio reached in Android Studio?

Question

I am using Android Studio 2022.2.1 Patch 2 and I would like to access the 'Image Asset Studio' [IAS] (if it still exists).

The directions I have for accessing the IAS are to open the project's 'android' folder, locate the 'res' folder, right-click the 'res' folder, and then an option for accessing the IAS would then appear.

The image shows what I see when following the said directions.

Since the instructions above do not lead to the IAS, could you suggest an alternative set of directions towards the IAS please?

Answer 1

I Google searched and saw a StackOverflow thread with a solution which was to do the following:

1. With the relevant project open, from Android Studio's File tab, choose "Open ..." and select the 'android' folder, and have it open in a new window.

2. Wait for the various loading/synchronising to be completed.

3. Locate the 'res' folder and right-click on it. Hover to 'New' and now the 'Image Asset' option will be available.

In the Google search I completed there was a 63 second YouTube video in the results. I watched that and then I realised that the StackOverflow response was accurate.

Now resolved.
