title: How to run copy task with android studio into assets folder
body: <p>So far I have added the following to the end of my "build.gradle"</p>
  
  <pre><code>task copyFiles(type: Copy)
  
  copyFiles {
      description = 'Copies html5 files from the common library...'
      from '../../www'
      into 'assets/www'
      include('**/*')
  }
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Now I just need some help on how o make this task get executed everytime (before) compiling the android source. I can run the copy task manually from command line, but Id like to have it run when I click "run" in android studio. </p>
  
  <p>With the help of suggestion below, I have added </p>
  
  <pre><code>clean.dependsOn copyFiles
  clean.mustRunAfter copyFiles
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>And with this addition I can get my copy task to run by doing rebuild -> run.
  It's better than nothing but it would be nice to skip the rebuild step.</p>
  
  <p>Here is the whole build.gradle that im using with android studio. </p>
  
  <pre><code>buildscript {
      repositories {
          mavenCentral()
      }
      dependencies {
          classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:0.5.+'
      }
  }
  
  
  apply plugin: 'android'
  
  dependencies {
      compile files('/libs/acra-4.3.0.jar')
  }
  
  android {
      compileSdkVersion 17
      buildToolsVersion "17"
  
      defaultConfig {
          minSdkVersion 8
          targetSdkVersion 17
      }
      sourceSets {
          main {
              manifest.srcFile 'AndroidManifest.xml'
              java.srcDirs = ['src','libs']
              resources.srcDirs = ['src']
              aidl.srcDirs = ['src']
              renderscript.srcDirs = ['src']
              res.srcDirs = ['res']
              assets.srcDirs = ['assets']
          }
  
          instrumentTest.setRoot('tests')
      }
  }
  
  
  task copyFiles(type: Copy)
  
  copyFiles {
      description = 'Copies html5 files from the common library...'
      from '../../www'
      into 'assets/www'
      include('**/*')
  }
  
  clean.dependsOn copyFiles
  clean.mustRunAfter copyFiles
  </code></pre>
