How to place 9patch generated images in Android Studio?

Question

I used the freely available Simple 9patch generator available online, to generate a logo for my app's splash screen. But how do I place it in Android Studio drawable folder? Do I have to make separate drawable folders like ldpi , hdpi etc? I tried that but when I try to set the image on a layout, it gives me an error saying

Cannot resolve symbol @drawable/something

Get rid of the .9 in @drawable/splash.9 . It is just @drawable/splash . .9.png is the file extension, and file extensions are not used in references to resources.
