This still reproduces in Android Studio Hedgehog.

The directories are not shown, because they're expected to be one of the known resource directories listed in the documentation, or a locale-specific variant of one of those directories.

But it seems like a bug that Studio allows the creation of a directory that it knows won't be shown, so we should validate the name before creating the directory and prevent the user from getting into this situation.

Accepted by aa...@google.com.

Note that the original issue was caused by the user naming the directory Xml instead of xml.

This might work on Windows but should still not be allowed.

To recover from such a situation, one should rename the Xml directory to xml. Either using Windows File Explorer or using the Android Studio Project view.
