I have an Android project. In eclipse, if I change one line and rerun the app on my phone, the turnaround time is super fast. On Intellij, it does a full recompile of my project and takes over half a minute. Can this be sped up in any way? Is this a bug or might I have misconfigured something?

I had the same problem and this is what I did: http://stackoverflow.com/a/14953591/2061594 – Jake Andreu Feb 19 '13 at 09:14

Build | Make compiles only changed files and dependencies, however if you have a lot libraries in your project, Android dx compiler may take a lot of time to produce the final apk. Verify that you didn't add any extra libraries to the module dependencies.

I do have extra libraries that I want to use. I believe this is what's taking all the time. Is there a way to precompile them and include the dex files in project instead of the jars? I tried using dx from the command line and then replaced the jars with the dexed versions, but didn't get that working. – lowellk Feb 26 '11 at 00:01

1No, IDEA doesn't support it, I'm afraid. Please file a feature request at http://youtrack.jetbrains.net/issues/IDEA. – CrazyCoder Feb 26 '11 at 01:43

So until that is implemented, I have to live with the slow builds? What if I replace the jars with their source code? – lowellk Feb 26 '11 at 04:37
