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.
