Get Local Android Testing Resources

When running standard junit tests (not AndroidTestCase) in Android, how can I get the resources in src / test / resources ?

I've tried all the usual ...

getClass().getResourceAsStream("/testData.dat");

and...

Thread.currentThread().getContextClassLoader() .getResourceAsStream("/testData.dat");

and also with gradle copy resources.

task copyTestResources (type: Copy) {from "$ {projectDir} / src / test / resources" to "$ {buildDir} / classes / test"}

Which confuses me when I ask in a unit test what the classloaders path to get resources uses

ClassLoader classLoader = Thread.currentThread (). getContextClassLoader (); URL resource = classLoader.getResource (".");

It returns: / home / rob / Android / Sdk / platform / android-17 / data / res

Can someone explain this to me and tell me how I can get the relative path anywhere in the project so that I can use the test resources?
