Why Android Studio rebuilds project so slow even when no changes in sources?

Question

When I make some changes in source code, Android Studio (actually gradle) needs to rebuild the project. It\'s obvious.

Why the second build takes almost the sam

Answer 1

This isn't a problem per se. And it has nothing to do with Android Studio since Gradle is just an Android Plugin that helps you build your projects. You need to fully understand what gradle does to know why Android Studio uses it whenever you run your apps. Take a look at this nice SO question on gradle and the android developer website's article on it. Finally, from my personal experience,when it comes to dealing with Android Studio and Eclipse for Android development, you need to be a little patient. Hope this helps in some way.
