This sample shows how to react to a change to an artifact of type Artifact.Multiple that causes the artifact
to be regenerated. The API will make sure that the task is called when the task regenerating the artifact runs. This
allows tasks that must process an artifact to run without changing what task should be called by the user. In this
particular example, the task makes a copy of the multi-dex proguard files while renaming them.
Custom plugin is defined in CustomPlugin.kt. It registers task CopyProguardTask.kt that simply copies a proguard file somewhere else and renames it.
The API used in this recipe is MultipleArtifactTypeOutOperationRequest.toListenTo(),
and this is wired up to the task with TaskBasedOperation.wiredWithMultiple().
Below is an example usage of the APIs:
variant.artifacts.use(copyTask).wiredWithMultiple {
it.proguardFiles
}.toListenTo(MultipleArtifact.MULTIDEX_KEEP_PROGUARD)
Just type ./gradlew app:assembleDebug
You will be able to find the renamed metadata file at
app/build/renamed_intermediates/native_debug_metadata/debug/renamed_test_file.dbg after copying.
