For those who come here looking for some way to apply a similar method to raw resources, I dealt with it using buildConfigField.

gradle
...
buildTypes {
    debug {
        ...

        buildConfigField "int", "shared_resource_name", 'R.raw.debug_resource_name'

        ...
    }
    prod {
        ...

        buildConfigField "int", "shared_resource_name", 'R.raw.prod_resource_name'

        ...
    }
}

Pay attention to the quotes. After that, place BuildConfig.shared_resource_name in the files wherever R.raw.resource_value used to be accessed directly.

This can be used to other resources I think.
