kotlin gradle resources folder
Open your Kotlin project in an IDE or text editor.
Locate the
src/main/resources
folder in your project's directory. If it doesn't exist, create it.Inside the
resources
folder, add any necessary files or subdirectories containing the resources your project requires.Open your
build.gradle.kts
file.Locate the
sourceSets
block in thebuild.gradle.kts
file.Inside the
sourceSets
block, you'll find a section for the main source set, often namedmain
. Add the following code snippet to include theresources
directory in the classpath:
kotlin
resources.srcDirs("src/main/resources")
It should look something like this:
kotlin
sourceSets {
main {
resources.srcDirs("src/main/resources")
}
}
Sync your project with the Gradle files to apply the changes.
You can now access the resources in your Kotlin code using the classpath. For example, if you have a file named
example.txt
in theresources
folder, you can access it like this:
kotlin
val inputStream = javaClass.classLoader.getResourceAsStream("example.txt")
val content = inputStream.bufferedReader().use { it.readText() }
Adjust the file name and path according to your project structure.
