Install resource file into root of apk

When you use a jar as a dependency, any files in the jar root are put into the generated apk's root. Meanwhile, if I just have my android project, and I want to put files in the root, I can't! I have to put files in res/assets or res/raw, which won't do the trick for me.

I'm using a library internal to the company, and it expects a filename for something in the top-level of the produced artifact

With old android projects (the ones that use ant, etc), put your resource files in /resources (not /res) to ensure that they aren't touched by aapt and are put in the root.

For new android projects (ones using gradle), put these resources in src/main/resources
