How to store image folder with many images?

My android app requires over 1000 image icons to show in a image list view. I have all those images in a folder. I want to load all images from that folder and show them in an image list view.

But Drawable folder in Android offer following: drawable-hdpi drawable-ldpi drawable-mdpi drawable-xhdpi drawable-xxhdpi

I found that there is no way to add a subfolder in any of these folders. Also, if I have to provide different resolution images for all drawable folders which seems complicated for me. I think then the app size will be multiplied by 4-5 times and I will also face difficulty to separate these image files with other images of the app. I think there is a better solution for it? Can you please give any idea about how to achieve it?

If you are ok with only having one size of the icons you can place them in the resource folder named drawable (without any extra qualifiers). I suggest you use a common naming scheme, like my_icon_XYZ.png, where XYZ is a number starting with 001.
