Hi Tony,
As Al Sutton says, you can't install artifacts to /data using Android.bp.
If you really want to do that, continue using Android.mk. However, the more
usual way of provisioning preinstalled apps is install them into /product
(or /vendor, but product is better IMO), and Android.bp can do that
Cheers,
Chris
