Android studio activity not picking up new folder name

A common issue!

When you create a new folder in Android Studio, it may not automatically pick up the new folder name in the project structure. This can happen for a few reasons:

  1. Android Studio cache: Android Studio caches the project structure, so it may not immediately reflect changes to the folder structure.
  2. Gradle build: If you're using Gradle, the build process may not automatically detect changes to the folder structure.

To resolve this issue, try the following:

  1. Restart Android Studio: Sometimes, a simple restart can resolve the issue.
  2. Invalidate and restart: Go to File > Invalidate Caches/Restart and select Invalidate and Restart. This will clear the cache and restart Android Studio.
  3. Update the Gradle build: If you're using Gradle, try updating the build by running gradle build or gradle assemble in the terminal.
  4. Manually update the project structure: You can manually update the project structure by deleting the .idea folder (which contains the project cache) and then re-opening the project in Android Studio.
  5. Check for conflicts: If you're using a version control system like Git, check for any conflicts or uncommitted changes that might be causing the issue.
  6. Try a clean build: Go to Build > Clean Project and then Build > Rebuild Project to ensure a clean build.
  7. Check the project settings: Go to Settings (or Preferences on Mac) > Build, Execution, Deployment > Gradle and ensure that the Gradle home path is correct and the Gradle version is up-to-date.

If none of these steps resolve the issue, please provide more details about your project, such as the Android Studio version, Gradle version, and any error messages you're seeing.
