packaging jacoco-agent.properties into an APK so it can be read?

问题

Here's my situation:

Background

I am investigating code-coverage for our Android app. The app is built with Gradle and Android Studio.
I need code-coverage reports in two situations: during manual tests, and during automated tests built with our sizeable Appium suite.
I need to get a proof-of-concept out fast (isn't that always the case?) so I haven't had the chance to do thorough R&D. So please forgive any ignorance I display :)
I have access to the app source, but have little knowledge of the moving parts.
I have investigated JaCoCo and Emma. This question pertains to JaCoCo.
Given that we need coverage for Appium and manual tests, I believe offline-instrumentation with JaCoCo is what I need.

Progress Made

I used the JaCoCo plugin page and the Android Tools page and could configure build.gradle properly.
I have verified that the classes (present in build\intermediates\classes) are instrumented with JaCoCo, and are packaged in the APK.
I wrote a BroadCastReceiver per this SO discussion, which will receive the "end coverage" broadcast.

Problem

When I run the app manually, I keep seeing errors in the logcat W/System.err: java.io.FileNotFoundException: /jacoco.exec: open failed: EROFS (Read-only file system)

From this SO question and the JaCoCo docs I understand that Jacoco needs to know where to store the jacoco.exec file - and that I need to package a jacoco-agent.properties (containing a destfile property) with the APK.

I have tried putting jacoco-agent.properties in assets - it was packaged into the APK properly, but did not seem to have any effect (i.e Jacoco failed as usual) I tried putting it inside res - it did not get packaged into the APK. I tried res/raw and hit the error about a dash in the filename, as in this SO question.

I am at my wit's end, and would really appreciate help. How do I package jacoco-agent.properties using my Gradle build into the APK, so that JaCoCo will read it?

I'm not familiar with the requirement for executing Jacoco working, but you can package a file with the apk pretty easily. The below code will place the jacoco-agent.properties at the root of your apk package.

Make these changes to the build.gradle for your app module:

android {
    ...
    sourceSets {
        main {
            resources.includes = [ '**/jacoco-agent.properties' ]
        }       
    }
}
