如何防止 Android Studio 在项目导航中自动折叠我的包？

Question

I have run into this annoyance over and over again and have been unable to find a solution or an answer here for it:

When I create a package in my application and then add a package within it, if I do not have a file in the directory already it will auto collapse my package in the left-side navigation of Android Studio. This prevents me from adding other sub-packages to the parent package, without manually resolving the issue within the file system.

For Example:

What I want is:

-presentation   
  -screens
     -devicescreen
         -adapters
         -presenters
         -views

Answer 1

In the 1:Project view, you have Hide Empty Middle Packages turned ON. You need to turn it off. Once turned off it will be shown as Compact Empty Middle Package . Please look at the screenshot attached.

Answer 2

With Android Studio Android Studio Electric Eel | 2022.1.1 you need to switch to Project View and then click on Settings icon from the right top side and then disable Compact Middle Packages under the Tree Appearance and then you create your sub package folder it will not merge/collapse and work as a sub-package as we need.

This will prevent android studio to automatically collapse the package and sub-package. Please upvote this thread if it finds helpful to you.
