Gradle: Exclude file from Android assets folder
Question
Please, do you know a way how to exclude some file from Android project assets folder before multiple assets folders are merged or during the merge?
For example:
android {
sourceSets {
main {
assets.srcDirs = [fileTree(dir: 'assets1', exclude: 'myfile.txt'), 'assets2'] // does not work
assets.exclude 'assets1/myfile.txt' // does not work
assets.exclude '**/*.txt' // does not work
assets.exclude '*.txt' // does not work
}
}
packagingOptions {
exclude 'assets1/myfile.txt' // does not work
exclude '**/*.txt' // does not work
exclude '*.txt' // does not work either
}
aaptOptions {
ignoreAssetsPattern "myfile.txt" // does not work
}
}

I run into the same problem and it seems adding a "!" works to indicate the file should be excluded:
aaptOptions {
ignoreAssetsPattern "!myfile.txt"
}
"assets.exclude" might work also by adding a "!" but I haven't tested it...

I think this should do what you want:
android {
aaptOptions {
ignoreAssetsPattern "myfile.txt"
}
}

It's not possible at the moment.
The packagingOptions feature does not apply to Android resources or assets.

you can delete a file after build has finished its internal task of merging all assets using groovy task.dolast
so in this case mergeAssets.doLast where mergeAssets is provided inside #android.applicationVariants.all { variant ->
loop give access to few other task too
here i used code to delete a zip file and images folder
tested on Android 3.1.4
hope it helps
android.applicationVariants.all { variant ->
if (variant.buildType.name == 'release') {
variant.mergeAssets.doLast {
println("deleting item.zip', 'images/**' from variant")
delete(fileTree(dir: variant.mergeAssets.outputDir, includes: ['item.zip', 'images/**']))
}
}
}

Try this:
export ANDROID_AAPT_IGNORE="ignoreAssetsPatternThatActuallyWorks"
./gradlew assembleDebug
It's the only way to influence the mergeDebugAssets step (code found here ).
Filed a bug about this.

just use bash
zip -d xx.jar xxx.txt
to remove duplicated file from jar file

To protect assets folder information If the html file is either css or js , the easiest way is to: Write your code in the html editor first, and then enter it in a Java class as follows :
public class Content{
public static final String myContent ="<!DOCTYPE html> ... </html> "
And then call through the loadDataWithBaseURL method
webView.loadDataWithBaseURL(null,Content.myContent, "text/html" , "UTF-8" ,null);
And you can call js and css in html code :
...
<head>
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css"
href="file:///android_asset/css/custom.css" />
<script src="file:///android_asset/js/code.jquery.js"></script>
</head>
