Android Question how to add cutom folder to assets

[mzsoft]

hello
In my android project I have folder name .pic
I check the apk and I don't see the .pic folder, I think it's because of the dot at the beginning of the folder name.i cant change folder name.
Is it possible to automatically add this folder to the assets folder ?
i use this

   #CustomBuildAction: 1, c:\windows\system32\robocopy.exe, ..\Files\.pic ..\Objects\bin\extra\assets\.pic /MIR

copy is ok but in apk not shown.

I tried several things but it looks like Android packager removes the folder because of the dot.
A possible workaround is to copy the files at runtime with the correct structure. You can also use a zip for this.

But in a Java project that I tested, every folder that was in assets was copied into apk. I can't use zip. The file must be in assets. And this folder is not accessible for changes in Android.
Maybe I need to change the apk file after building and sign it again.

i checked java project .it has this code in build.gradle

 aaptOptions {
            ignoreAssetsPattern "!.svn:!.git:!.gitignore:!.ds_store:!*.scc:<dir>_*:!CVS:!thumbs.db:!picasa.ini:!*~"
        }
