How to run copy task with android studio into assets folder

Question

So far I have added the following to the end of my \"build.gradle\"

task copyFiles(type: Copy)

copyFiles {
    description = \'Copies html5 files from the c

I had a very similar problem to yours and I was able to solve it as follows:

android.buildTypes.all{ buildType ->    
    task "${buildType.name}CopyFiles" (type: Copy)
    "${buildType.name}CopyFiles" {
        description = 'Copies html5 files from the common library...'
        from '../../www'
        into 'assets/www'
        include('**/*')
    }

    tasks.getByPath(":${project.name}:assemble${buildType.name.capitalize()}").dependsOn "${buildType.name}CopyFiles"
}

The problem is, that Android Studio seems to call a specific assemble task like assembleDebug when you click on run, that's why you have to make sure to make all assemble tasks depend on your copy task.
