Google announced that they were working on Android Studio as the IDE to replace ADT. If you have just started using Android Studio or are new to Gradle, you may have noticed that any of the calls to Gradle perform very slow. This is very noticeable while trying to build the project. This is very discouraging. after some search over internet finally i got solutions to solve this problem and that is working for me :) Following are some ways for Android Studio and Gradle Build system to make them perform more faster.
1. Android Studio
-Launch: Notepad++ as administrator
-Open: C:\Program Files\Android\Android Studio\bin\studio64.exe.vmoptions
-Open: C:\Program Files\Android\Android Studio\bin\studio64.exe.vmoptions
There are a lot of parameters, but we are interested in memory-related parameters:
-Xms: Specifies the initial size, in bytes, of the memory allocation pool.
-Xmx: Specifies the maximum size, in bytes, of the memory allocation pool.
-XX:MaxPermSize: Size of the Permanent Generation.
-XX:ReservedCodeCacheSize: Reserved code cache size
-Xms: Specifies the initial size, in bytes, of the memory allocation pool.
-Xmx: Specifies the maximum size, in bytes, of the memory allocation pool.
-XX:MaxPermSize: Size of the Permanent Generation.
-XX:ReservedCodeCacheSize: Reserved code cache size
Now, I’m using the following values:
-Xms1024m
-Xmx2048m
-XX:MaxPermSize=1024m
-XX:ReservedCodeCacheSize=512m
-Xms1024m
-Xmx2048m
-XX:MaxPermSize=1024m
-XX:ReservedCodeCacheSize=512m
2. Gradle
Gradle is the new build system used in Android Studio
Now, we will configure the global settings of Gradle:
Now, we will configure the global settings of Gradle:
- Goto: C:\Users\<UserName>\.gradle
make a new file called “gradle.properties” - Add the following lines to the file:
org.gradle.parallel=true
org.gradle.daemon=true - Launch Android Studio and goto File -> Settings -> Gradle then enable “Offline work”
- Restart Android Studio and check if there is any Speed Improvement
