Problems with Resource Drawable Folders not being searched when building

I have a Resources folder structure like this: Resources ->drawable->drawable-hdpi (and others for the various densities and sizes). Now I have a folder for layout-port and another layout-land I am creating a splashscreen with just a background png file. In each of the drawable folder the png file exists (with the same name) I go to the background property of the layout and specify @drawable.splash. But when I compile I get two errors ( one for each layout) stating- Error: No resource found that matches the given name (at 'src' with value '@drawable/splash').

Again that file is in all the folders, it seems as if the folders are not being recognized or searched.

Oh and here is part of my manifest

<supports-screens android:resizeable="true"
    android:smallScreens="true"
    android:normalScreens="true"
    android:largeScreens="true"
    android:anyDensity="true"/>

So I feel I have search the web and SO plenty but cannot find a solution to this. Got to be missing something stupid.

the /res folder only allows one level of nesting and ignores all folders that are not directly within /res.

enter image description here

Your /res structure should look like this, /drawable-hdpi is not nested within /drawable, but within /res.
