I am following a tutorial which is done in eclipse, but i am working on Android studio.
There is a creation of XML file for values in the tutorial which is to be placed in drawable folder of resources in the project.
When I try to create the above said file in the drawable folder, it automatically shifts to values folder.
How can i make it possible that the file will remain in the drawable folder?

Not sure what exactly you where trying to do.But seems that you were trying to create xml file which contains values in the drawable folder. Drawable folders are special folders intended to hold the Images needed for the screens. But it also allows XML files to be placed inside. One such scenario is shaping the buttons ( example rounded/curved button design) . If something similar was you checking for then

Right Click on Drawable folder -> New -> Drawable Resource File , will create a XML file inside the Drawable folder.

If intended something else , please mention that in the question.
