How do I create different folders to organize source code in Android Studio?

I want to separate my Java source code into different folders (e.g. folders for activities, fragments, etc like in https://blog.smartlogic.io/2013-07-09-organizing-your-android-development-code-structure/)

How do I create the new folders in Android Studio. The thing I thought might work is 'Right Click On The Package -> New -> Folder -> Java Folder' but this did not appear to do anything.

If you want make folder inside you package Right click in app -> new -> Sample Data Directory. You will find folder under app. move folder to any where you want. If you want to rename folder just click Shift + F6 in keyboard. After that if you make any class inside this folder just right click on the folder and choose new -> Java Class

If you want to make a folder to put your Java files in it then go to -> new-> package and then move your files there but don't forget to change the package name in each file you move to the new package file.

We tried to organize Kotlin source code into different folders by using the following steps. Right-click package name under Java select New then Package. Then give the Package a name and Make the first letter a capital. Now put the MainActivity or any Activity you have in that folder. Now go take a look at your manifest file <activity android:name=".Controller.MainActivity">.

It seems that when you create a Package (folder) the naming convention is no upper case letters are permitted. In our case, when we tried to add a new XML file Android Studio refused to Build the app until we fixed the problem.

We found no resources addressing this naming convention.

Packages

See the Java Tutorial on Packages.

A package in Java not only groups your classes together, it creates a namespace.

By convention, use a domain name in reverse direction to name your package.

package com.example.awesomeapp.login ;
