DefaultBuildType

ProGuard rule files to be included in the published AAR.

These proguard rule files will then be used by any application project that consumes the AAR (if ProGuard is enabled).

This allows AAR to specify shrinking or obfuscation exclude rules.

This is only valid for Library project. This is ignored in Application project.

The manifest placeholders.

See Manifest merger.

Whether Multi-Dex is enabled for this variant.

Text file that specifies additional classes that will be compiled into the main dex file.

Classes specified in the file are appended to the main dex classes computed using aapt.

If set, the file should contain one class per line, in the following format: com/example/MyClass.class

Text file with additional ProGuard rules to be used to determine which classes are compiled into the main dex file.

If set, rules from this file are used in combination with the default rules used by the build system.

Returns ProGuard configuration files to be used.

There are 2 default rules files

They are located in the SDK. Using getDefaultProguardFile(String filename) will return the full path to the files. They are identical except for enabling optimizations.

See similarly named methods to specify the files.

Copies all properties from the given build type.
