Having issues with Django URL mapping

I am trying Django for an upcoming project and going through a tutorial and running into issue with defining URL paths. Below is the project structure showing the urls.py at the project root. The urls.py in my timer package is pretty simple:

from django.urls import path
from . import views

urlpatterns = [
    path('', views.index, name='index'),
]

However when I launch the application and navigate to localhost:8080/timer/ I am getting a 404. Any suggestions what I should be looking at?

It turns out that I created the urls.py under a wrong folder. I misunderstood the instructions and created the urls.py in the same folder as manage.py. Once I add the new url pattern in the file projectdb/projectgb/urls.py, the issue is fixed. Thanks.

You can try to change URLs in the settings of the whole project like this:

urlpatterns = [
    url(r'^admin/', admin.site.urls),
    url(r'^timer/$', include('timer.urls')),
]

As for the timer, the URLs will be like this:

urlpatterns = [
    url(r'^$', views.index, name="index"),
]

Don't forget about r's in the url().
