Android studio Gradle build speed up

best (for me) is never to use maven or gradle and stick to eclipse. It is so darn fast comparing with all that stuff... — eduyayo, May 14 '15 at 07:39

There is a option called as offline work in Android Studio under settings->Build,execution,Development ->Buildtools -> check offline work. this could make little bit faster. — Muthu, May 14 '15 at 07:44
@Muthu i tried this solution but still i facing same problem — AmitCharkha, May 14 '15 at 09:10
@ondermerol Before two month i was using eclipse and was not facing any time consumption while doing build but when i switched to Android studio i am facing time consuming in making build almost one and half minute every time. — AmitCharkha, May 14 '15 at 09:15

@AmitCharkha How fast is your internet. because android studio normally needs a fast stable network connection. and are you using proguard? — Muthu, May 14 '15 at 10:03

Had the same problem.

What I did was to change the global gradle settings to offline work which can be done by going to Preferences => Gradle. This did make a difference.

Another method I have seen people use, but which I have not used yet is to create a gradle.properties in the gradle folder like so:

Just create a file named gradle.properties in the following directory:

/home/<username>/.gradle/ (Linux)
/Users/<username>/.gradle/ (Mac)
C:\Users\<username>\.gradle (Windows)

Add this line to the file:

org.gradle.daemon=true

Please check out this link for more options as well as a detailed explanation on speeding up gradle.

Hope this helps!.

i tried out both the solution but still i am facing same problem. Even i do one line change in code for build it takes almost 1 minute and 20 or 30 sec. I am facing this problem from last two months — AmitCharkha, May 14 '15 at 09:09

The reason could be dex,

turn multiDexEnabled to false in your build.gradle file.

android {
...
    defaultConfig {
        ...
        multiDexEnabled false
        ...
    }
}

In addition you should consider to use the lastest version (2.4 at the moment) by editing the gradle-wrapper.properties file and set gradle-2.4-all.zip
