Android studio unable to paste files to assets folder

Question

So I want to use some fonts but when I try to paste the ttf files into a fonts folder that I have in the assets folder, it just does not do anything. And yes, I am sure that I copied the files.

Answer 1

Nevigate to the assets folder in file explorer. It will be at you_app_folder/app/src/main/assets/fonts

Paste the files there.

Now go back to android studio and you should see the files there.

Answer 2

You can also use the "Project" or "Project Files" view in Android Studio to see and copy to the "app/src/main/assets" (or whatever) directory itself.

"app/assets" is an alias in "Android" view of project and I'm thinking that is the problem for paste.
