Artifacts
@Incubating interface Artifacts
| com.android.build.api.artifact.Artifacts |
Access to the artifacts on a Variant object.
Artifacts are temporary or final files or directories that are produced by the Android Gradle plugin during the build. Depending on its configuration, each com.android.build.api.variant.VariantBuilder produces different versions of some of the output artifacts.
An example of temporary artifacts are .class files obtained from compiling source files that will eventually get transformed further into dex files. Final artifacts are APKs and bundle files that are not transformed further.
Artifacts are uniquely defined by their Artifact type and public artifact types that can be accessed from third-party plugins or build script are defined in ArtifactType
