Equivalent of Clean & build in Android Studio?

Question

Today while running an app from Android Studio, it didn\'t build from my latest code.

I looked for a Clean & build option but I couldn\'t find one.

Answer 1

Also you can edit your Run/Debug configuration and add clean task.

Click on the Edit configuration

In the left list of available configurations choose your current configuration and then on the right side of the dialog window in the section Before launch press on plus sign and choose Run Gradle task

In the new window choose your gradle project and in the field Tasks type clean.

Then move your gradle clean on top of Gradle-Aware make

Answer 2

It is probably not a correct way for clean, but I made that to delete unnecessary files, and take less size of a project. It continuously finds and deletes all build and Gradle folders made file clean.bat copy that into the folder where your project is

  set mypath=%cd% 
    for /d /r %mypath% %%a in (build\) do if exist "%%a" rmdir /s /q "%%a"
    for /d /r %mypath% %%a in (.gradle\) do if exist "%%a" rmdir /s /q "%%a"

in android studio version 2+, use this in gradle config

android{
..

compileOptions {
        sourceCompatibility JavaVersion.VERSION_1_7
        targetCompatibility JavaVersion.VERSION_1_7
        incremental = false;
}
...

}

after 3 days of search and test :(, this solve "rebuild for any run"

Answer 4

In latest releases of Android Studio one more option has been added dedicatedly for Clean.

Build > Clean Project 

Answer 5

I don't know if there's a way to get a clean build via the UI, but it's easy to do from the commandline using gradle wrapper. From the root directory of your project:

./gradlew clean 

Answer 6

Android studio is based on Intellij Idea. In Intellij Idea you have to do the following from the GUI menu.

Build -> Rebuild Project
