android gradle resources exclude file not working

Question

android gradle resources exclude file not working. e.g.

android {
    sourceSets {
        androidTest {
            resources {
               srcDir "../../src/foo/resources"
               exclude "../../src/foo/resources/META-INF/foo.xml"
            }
        }

     }
}

The foo.xml is not excluded.

version: com.android.tools.build:gradle:3.4.1

Your tree shows that foo.xml is excluded in androidTest. You might want to change it to the main android node android.

android { sourceSets { main { java { exclude "../../src/foo/resources/META-INF/foo.xml" } } } } Check here https://stackoverflow.com/questions/16701256/android-studio-exclude-class-from-build – Georgi Dimitrov Mar 07 '20 at 09:42
What I did is the same as the link you provided, resources instead of java. – eastwater Mar 07 '20 at 19:40
You have to use not only androidTest but main too. – Georgi Dimitrov Mar 07 '20 at 20:05
