Android placement of rome.properties

Hello there folks… So, I need to parse some feeds, but the pubDate is formated as: dd MMM yyyy HH:mm:ss Z // Ex: 19 May 2017 02:00:00 -0300, and I can’t get ROME to parse it. I read on issue #317 that I need to set the mask at rome.properties. The problem is that the file doesn’t work, no matter where I place it within the project!

I posted the question here because I think it may help other people…

Hello there, sorry for taking too long for posting this.

I solved the issue by creating a folder “resources” at app/src/main, and added rome.properties there. then, at the app build.gradle I added the following:

sourceSets {
    main {
        resources {
            srcDirs "src/main/resources"
        }
    }
}

That was it! After I put that, Rome parsed my dates correctly… The trick was finding an SO question where someone discussed how to place a file on an arbitrary path inside the APK package.

I hope this help other people!
