SingleArtifact

Public Artifact for Android Gradle plugin.

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.

getFileSystemLocationName

open fun getFileSystemLocationName(): String
Returns
String

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
Returns
String

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.
