MultipleArtifact.ALL_CLASSES_JARS Classes that will eventually be dex'ed for this module, that were generated, or processed as jar files. MultipleArtifact.ASSETS Assets that will be packaged in the resulting APK or Bundle. MultipleArtifact.MULTIDEX_KEEP_PROGUARD Text files with additional ProGuard rules to be used to determine which classes are compiled into the main dex file. SingleArtifact Public Artifact for Android Gradle plugin. SingleArtifact.AAR The final AAR file as it would be published. SingleArtifact.APK Directory where APK files will be located. SingleArtifact.BUNDLE The final Bundle ready for consumption at Play Store. SingleArtifact.MERGED_MANIFEST Merged manifest file that will be used in the APK, Bundle and InstantApp packages. SingleArtifact.METADATA_LIBRARY_DEPENDENCIES_REPORT The metadata for the library dependencies. SingleArtifact.OBFUSCATION_MAPPING_FILE SingleArtifact.PUBLIC_ANDROID_RESOURCES_LIST A file containing the list of public resources exported by a library project.

Defines a type of artifact handled by the Android Gradle Plugin.

Each instance of Artifact is produced by a org.gradle.api.Task and potentially consumed by any number of tasks.

An artifact can potentially be produced by more than one task (each task acting in an additive behavior), but consumers must be aware when more than one artifact can be present, implementing the Multiple interface will indicate such requirement.

An artifact must be one of the supported ArtifactKind and must be provided when the constructor is called. ArtifactKind also defines the specific FileSystemLocation subclass used.

Artifact(
    kind: ArtifactKind<T>, 
    category: Artifact.Category)

Defines a type of artifact handled by the Android Gradle Plugin.

Each instance of Artifact is produced by a org.gradle.api.Task and potentially consumed by any number of tasks.

An artifact can potentially be produced by more than one task (each task acting in an additive behavior), but consumers must be aware when more than one artifact can be present, implementing the Multiple interface will indicate such requirement.

An artifact must be one of the supported ArtifactKind and must be provided when the constructor is called. ArtifactKind also defines the specific FileSystemLocation subclass used.

Public methods

getFileSystemLocationName

open fun getFileSystemLocationName(): String

Return
Depending on T, returns the file name of the folder under the variant-specific folder or an empty string to use defaults.

getFolderName

open fun getFolderName(): String

Return
The folder name under which the artifact files or folders should be stored.

name

fun name(): String

Provide a unique name for the artifact type. For external plugins defining new types, consider adding the plugin name to the artifact's name to avoid collision with other plugins.
