Accelerate Gradle Build Projects

When building large projects in Gradle, the time-consuming is serious, and the following points can speed up project construction.

1. Upgrade Gradle

Go to the project folder and use the latest gradle. Modify

$project/gradle/wrapper/gradle-wrapper.properties

Replace with the latest.

distributionUrl=https\://services.gradle.org/distributions/gradle-2.9-all.zip

2. Upgrading the Gradle plugin (plugin)

Use the latest Gradle dependencies.

{  dependencies {    classpath ‘com.android.tools.build:gradle:1.5.0‘  }}

3. Set Development Minimum SDK version

At development time, use the minimum SDK version to 21.

{  productFlavors {    dev {        minSdkVersion 21    }    {        minSdkVersion 14    }  }}

The Project Generation APK package is divided into two steps, the first to convert Dex, and the second to synthesize Dex, but version 21+ uses the Android runtime (Android Runtime) to generate the APK and does not need to merge Dex, so the speed can also solve the 65K method.

4. Add Gradle Property

Modifygradle.properties

org.gradle.daemon=trueorg.gradle.parallel=trueorg.gradle.jvmargs=-Xmx768m

5. Using the incremented Dex

Increase the capacity of Dex. Reference.

dexOptions {    true}

That ' s all! If the project is built too slowly, according to the actual situation, choose to optimize the combination of gradle.
OK, Enjoy it!
