Android studio invalid folder structure

Question

For some reason I am getting a runtime error while loading fonts from assets. I have read couple of questions here saying that assets folder needs to be placed in src/main/ .

I found out, I have no main folder in my folder structure and when I tried to put it just to the src folder I am having the same issue.

Any idea why I have no main , and in general I seem to have strange folder structure? It might be that I am having parse.com skeleton application. How to fix it?

The way I am trying to access to the font file:

  Typeface myTypeface = Typeface.createFromAsset(getAssets(), "assets/charming_font.ttf");

I have checked this

And this is my folder structure:

My build.gradle :

apply plugin: 'com.android.application'
apply plugin: 'com.parse'

buildscript {
  repositories {
    mavenCentral()
    maven { url 'https://maven.parse.com/repo' }
  }
  dependencies {
    classpath 'com.parse.tools:gradle:1.+'
  }
}

dependencies {
    compile 'com.parse.bolts:bolts-android:1.2.0'
    compile fileTree(dir: 'libs', include: 'Parse-*.jar')
    compile fileTree(dir: 'libs', include: 'ParseCrashReporting-*.jar')
    compile fileTree(dir: 'libs', include: 'gson-2.3.1.jar')

}

android {
    compileSdkVersion rootProject.ext.compileSdkVersion
    buildToolsVersion rootProject.ext.buildToolsVersion

    defaultConfig {
        minSdkVersion rootProject.ext.minSdkVersion
        targetSdkVersion rootProject.ext.targetSdkVersion
    }

    sourceSets {
        main {
            manifest.srcFile 'AndroidManifest.xml'
            java.srcDirs = ['src']
            res.srcDirs = ['res']

        }

        buildTypes {
            debug {
                minifyEnabled false
                proguardFiles getDefaultProguardFile('proguard-android.txt'), 'proguard-rules.txt'

            }
            release {
                minifyEnabled true
                proguardFiles getDefaultProguardFile('proguard-android.txt'),
                        'proguard-rules.pro', 'proguard-rules-new.pro'
            }
        }

    }
}

I have also tried adding this to sourceSets : assets.srcDirs = ['assets'] but it didn't help.

That is the right answer, but then assets/ would be a peer of java/ , not a subdirectory of it.
