I have a JSON file db_seed.json that I want to use as a seed to pre-populate local database in my Android application. This JSON file is dynamically generated from another data source and quite big in size, so I don't want to include this in version control.
However, each time I build the application, I want to make sure that the build process check the existence of this file in the assets folder and shout a build error if it's not (to make sure that I don't publish an incomplete APK). Is it possible to configure Gradle in Android Studio to do this?
