How to write Gradle script for Android Studio?

Question

Android

Good afternoon!
Please tell me how to write instructions in the Gradle script so that when compiling the project, a text file with the content that I want is generated and this file is placed in the application's assets?

Answer 1

1. In Android Studio, create a folder for assets. Right click on app -> New -> Folder -> Assets Folder. This will also add asset generation to Gradle.
2. In buildscript, add task, for example:

task runSomePython(type:Exec) {
   workingDir 'path_to_script'

   commandLine 'python', 'somescript.py'
}

To start generating the files you need. You need to put files in src/main/assets/.
However, generating the contents of assets on the fly smacks of perversions. What for text files when there are xml to which it is possible to address freely.
