Can't access drawable resource from menu for navigation drawer

Am trying to add icons to a navigation drawer but somehow, I can't access resources in the res/drawable folder.

This is the list of icons I have in my drawable-hdpi folder:

But I can't access any of them using the correct method:

It says cannot resolve the symbol '@drawable/ic_action_user'

This is strange because I have another application open that uses the exact same method and it works fine there.I've tried invalidating cache and restarting Android Studio with no luck.

All I get are the icons in the drawable-v21 folder:

Try to put your images in the main drawable directory (res/drawable).. Not in the sub one (res/drawable-hdpi)

Answer by deepakjohn141 for Can't access drawable resource from menu for navigation drawer

you might have set min sdk version to 21 in gradle, set it to below version or copy all drawables in drawables-hdpi to drawables-v21, as only drawables in drawables-v21 will be used in versions equal to and above 21

You have created drawable-hdpi folder inside drawable.
You should move it to res folder .

Answer by IntelliJ Amiya for Can't access drawable resource from menu for navigation drawer

You need to put images in drawable folder instead of drawable-v21. Create below drawable folder under res .

drawable-ldpi

drawable-mdpi

drawable-hdpi

drawable-xhdpi

drawable-xxhdpi

Then Clean & Rebuild your Project . Hope this helps .
