title: Android auto update resource files through developer console
body: <p>My Android app has raw files in <code>resource folder</code> from which I retrieve data that is crucial to my app. </p>
  
  <p>These resource files needs to be updated from time to time if not often. </p>
  
  <p>Is there a way to achieve this through Google update mechanism (Developer console or any other tool) ? </p>
  
  <p>I'm aware that Google's new policy doesn't allow updating apps through non-Playstore sources.

  <p>Most of the time I need to update only this particular file and most of the code remains same (unless there are bugs). </p>
  
  <p>I feel it's redundant to make the user download the entire .apk file just to update a single raw file. </p>
