Android test raw resource

Question

I have the following folder structure in Android Studio:

├── androidTest
│   ├── java
│   └── res
│       └── raw
│           └── test_file
└── main
    ├──          


        

Answer 1

I had the androidTest resources in the right spot (src/androidTest/res) and I still couldn't access them via .test.R. I spent a lot of time googling trying to figure out what was going on..

I FINALLY stumbled onto the answer. If you're building a buildType where you specified an applicationIdSuffix, your files are at .test.R !!!!

i.e.

applicationId "com.example.my.app"

buildTypes {
    debug {
        applicationIdSuffix ".debug"
    }
}

if you have androidTest resources in the right directory, then you can only access them via com.example.my.app.debug.test.R !!!!
