Gradle build takes a long time to complete in Android Studio

Question

I'm facing an issue in Android Studio, whenever I create a new project the Gradle Build or Sync takes hours to get completed.

Also if I close the project and reopen it, the Gradle sync takes a long time for the same project for which the build was successful initially.

My system config -

1 TB Hard Disk
16 GB Ram
64 bit Windows 7 Professional

Tried this and this as well, but still the build takes a very long time to complete.

Can someone please explain to me the reason for this and also please let me know how to improve the performance of it.

Enable gradle offline work setting -> build tools -> gradle

2.create gradle.properties in following directory ~\Users\"username" \ .gradle and add the following in gradle.properties

org.gradle.daemon=true

It depends mostly on the internet connection and the number of library dependencies you have in your app. Sometimes a sync can take between 20 seconds and 10 minutes approximately, according to the background processes your pc may be doing.

You can check tak manager for your PC and check if there are any programs taking loads of CPu usage or memory.

However since your PC has 16gig of RAM, I fear that the issue is in the number of dependencies your app has. A question which could be related is the following

Hope this helps :)
