Android Extension -> [add android source] does nothing

Hello, I'm creating an extension and then I use "add android source" but I don't notice a difference after doing so.
I'm creating my android code with android studio, so I just go and point to the "main" folder from my project (the one with manifest, res and src folders)

I saw that if I go to my gm project/extensions I can see the added data.

BUT, when using Game maker studio, I go to the extension and found NO WAY to add gml functions. I mean... nothing appears! it's like it makes no difference.

I included an image, that's all I see, i don't know what else to do

Heyo, I just came here to look for information about Android extensions as well.

As far as I know from looking into this topic recently, what you're seeing is what's supposed to happen. The way to add GML functions is by adding a Generic Placeholder file as well as the source file. In the regular extension window, click on the menu icon next to "Files", and go "Add Placeholder" > "Add Generic Placeholder". This file is what you add GML functions to. For more info, read the page on Extensions in the manual carefully, specifically the Creating Extensions > Android subsection. There's also a few helpful blog posts about it. I can't post links yet, but you should find them if you just google "gms2 android extension".
