com.android.build.api.transform
Interface TransformOutputProvider

@Beta
public interface TransformOutputProvider

The output of a transform.

There is no direct access to a location to write. Instead, Transforms can ask to get the location for given scopes, content-types and a format.

This API is non final and is subject to change. We are looking for feedback, and will attempt to stabilize it in the 1.6 time frame.
