To get it to recognize the raw file, make sure you create it, and add it as a raw resource file. Then go to build.gradle file and add this block of code.

sourceSets {
    main {

        assets.srcDirs = ['/res/raw']

    }
}

(With reference to Android Studio)

Create a new directory in res folder. Make sure to create new "Android Resource Directory" and not new "Directory".

Then ensure that there is at least one valid file in it. It should show up now.

Simply add a folder 'raw' to your res folder.
