Accelerate Android Studio/gradle Build

has been developed using Android studio for more than a year, as the project grows, relying on the increase of the library, the construction speed is more and more slow, now the slowest 6 minutes to build a release of the installation package, find information on the Internet, found that can be configured to speed up the pace, Here to share with you.

Turn on gradle separate daemon

Create the file under the following directory gradle.properties :

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

and add in the file:

org.gradle.daemon=true

Modifying the files under the project gradle.properties can also be optimized:

# project-wide Gradle settings.# IDE (e.g. Android Studio) users:# settings specified in this file would override any Gradl E settings# configured through the ide.# for more details about how to configure your build environment visit# Http://www.gra  dle.org/docs/current/userguide/build_environment.html# The Gradle daemon aims to improve the startup and execution time of gradle.# when set to True the Gradle daemon are to run the build.# todo:disable daemon in CI, since builds should be Clea N and reliable on serversorg.gradle.daemon=true# specifies the JVM arguments used for the daemon process.# the setting is Particularly useful for tweaking memory settings.# Default value:-xmx10248m-xx:maxpermsize=256morg.gradle.jvmargs=- xmx2048m-xx:maxpermsize=512m-xx:+heapdumponoutofmemoryerror-dfile.encoding=utf-8# when configured, Gradle'll run In incubating parallel mode.# This option is should only being used with decoupled projects. More details, visit# http://www.gradle.org/docs/current/userguide/multi_project_builds.html#sec:decoupled_projectsorg.gradle.parallel=true# enables new incubating mode that makes Gradle Selective when configuring projects. # only relevant projects is configured which results in faster builds for large multi-projects.# http://www.gradle.org/do Cs/current/userguide/multi_project_builds.html#sec:configuration_on_demandorg.gradle.configureondemand=true

At the same time, these parameters can also be configured in the previous user directory in the gradle.properties file, so it is not for a project to take effect, but for all projects to take effect.

The above configuration file is mainly to do, increase the size of Gradle running Java Virtual machine, let gradle at compile time use independent process, let Gradle can run parallel.

Modify the Android Studio configuration

In the configuration of Android Studio, turn on offline mode and modify the configuration. The actual configuration is the same as in the above section, where the configuration is only effective when the IDE is built and the command-line build does not take effect.

Command line Build

Based on the above configuration, the command line is built with this parameter appended to the command --daemon --parallel --offline .

Using AAR when importing dependent libraries

Use AAR as much as possible using the Web-based third-party dependency library, which can be searched in mavenhttp://gradleplease.appspot.com/or Githuhttps://github.com/goddchen/mvn-repo.

Own library module can also be packaged into AAR, about this can refer to Stormzhang article http://www.stormzhang.com/android/2015/03/01/android-reference-local-aar/.

Postscript

After such a toss, I originally need 4, 5 minutes to build the completed project, now only 30 seconds or so can be built to complete. Of course, if you do not do so, then, you should change the computer, SSD hard disk, larger memory, must be on the.
