Android Studio does not change my code after run

Question

I have a weird problem with Android Studio. When I Run my app there are no gradlebuild and etc. just installing app and launch activity which means nothing what I changed in the code will be changed in my apk.

Have you any idea why is this happening?

project level gradle:

buildscript {
ext.kotlin_version = '1.2.30'
repositories {
    google()
    jcenter()
}
dependencies {
    classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:3.1.0'
    classpath "org.jetbrains.kotlin:kotlin-gradle-plugin:$kotlin_version"
    classpath "org.jetbrains.kotlin:kotlin-android-extensions:$kotlin_version"
    classpath 'com.google.gms:google-services:3.2.0'
    classpath "io.realm:realm-gradle-plugin:5.0.0"
    // NOTE: Do not place your application dependencies here; they belong
    // in the individual module build.gradle files
}
}

allprojects {
repositories {
    google()
    jcenter()
}
}

task clean(type: Delete) {
delete rootProject.buildDir
}

app level gradle:

apply plugin: 'com.android.application'
apply plugin: 'kotlin-android'
apply plugin: 'kotlin-android-extensions' 
apply plugin: 'kotlin-kapt'
apply plugin: 'realm-android'

android {
compileSdkVersion 26
defaultConfig {
    applicationId ""
    minSdkVersion 16
    targetSdkVersion 26
    versionCode 1
    versionName "1.0"
    testInstrumentationRunner "android.support.test.runner.AndroidJUnitRunner"
    multiDexEnabled true
}
buildTypes {
    release {
        minifyEnabled false
        proguardFiles getDefaultProguardFile('proguard-android.txt'), 'proguard-rules.pro'
    }
}
compileOptions {
    sourceCompatibility JavaVersion.VERSION_1_8
    targetCompatibility JavaVersion.VERSION_1_8
}
realm {
    syncEnabled = true;
}
}

dependencies {
implementation fileTree(dir: 'libs', include: ['*.jar'])
implementation "org.jetbrains.kotlin:kotlin-stdlib-jre7:$kotlin_version"
implementation 'com.android.support:appcompat-v7:26.1.0'
implementation 'com.android.support.constraint:constraint-layout:1.0.2'
implementation 'com.android.support:support-v4:26.1.0'
implementation 'com.android.support:recyclerview-v7:26.1.0'
implementation 'com.android.support:cardview-v7:26.1.0'
}
apply plugin: 'com.google.gms.google-services'

thanks :) I have tried clean, rebuild, invalidate cashes and restart a thousend times. I have reinstalled and updated everything. — J.Doe, Mar 30 '18 at 12:39
yeah I have these two issues: `Configuration 'compile' is obsolete and has been replaced with 'implementation'. It will be removed at the end of 2018` `Configuration 'provided' is obsolete and has been replaced with 'compileOnly'. It will be removed at the end of 2018` — J.Doe, Mar 30 '18 at 12:41
But there is nothing I can do with this. If I use 'Make project' and after Run then sometimes my code does work but sometimes doesn't. — J.Doe, Mar 30 '18 at 12:42
Reboot computer and device, reconnect, run. If it doesn't do it then, try uninstall of app and run to install fresh. — CmosBattery, Mar 30 '18 at 13:07

You have to fix the Run process in Android Studio.

Look at your main toolbar and find this box:

Click the box and select Edit Configurations....

Make sure the window has the following items in Before launch section:

Gradle-aware Make
Instant App Provision

Click OK.

Run your app.

I think this was fixed in Android Studio 3.1. – Eugen Pechanec Mar 30 '18 at 13:54
Thanks this is the solution! – J.Doe Mar 30 '18 at 13:54
Just adding `Gradle-aware Make` works for v2021.2.1 – guneetgstar May 20 '22 at 18:25

Try this: File menu -> Invalidate Caches/ Restart. I think it will resolve your problem.

There's been an issue in the 3.1.0 build tools upgrade of Android Studio. Follow these steps to resolve it.

Select Run and click Edit Configurations

Make sure, Gradle-aware Make is Added in TaskList or not. If not then:
click +
select Gradle-aware Make
Leave the task empty and select OK

NOTE: Make sure Gradle-aware Make is before Instant App Provision
