android - Definitions for gradle Transform API scopes -

gradle's transform api defines number of scopes. however, there little documentation regarding each scope means. know?

/**  * scope of content.  *  * <p/>  * indicates content represents, transforms can apply part(s)  * of classes or resources build manipulates.  */ enum scope {     /** project content */     project(0x01),     /** project's local dependencies (local jars) */     project_local_deps(0x02),     /** sub-projects. */     sub_projects(0x04),     /** sub-projects's local dependencies (local jars). */     sub_projects_local_deps(0x08),     /** external libraries */     external_libraries(0x10),     /** code being tested current variant, including dependencies */     tested_code(0x20),     /** local or remote dependencies provided-only */     provided_only(0x40);      private final int value;      scope(int value) {         this.value = value;     }      public int getvalue() {         return value;     } } 

given android n source code hasn't been released yet, there aren't lot of examples read over. best i've found far realm-java contains couple transformers.

tried out number of different combinations of scopes. , determined following;

• project: scope represents targeted gradle module.
• project_local_deps: dependencies inside target module's "libs" folder
• sub_projects: dependencies inside same android studio project, such other gradle modules. example, does not allow analyze picasso's class files.
• sub_projects_local_deps: local "libs" files dependencies inside same android studio project.
• external_libraries: libraries pulled maven. example, does allow analyze picasso's class files.
