Android Gradle Build Slow

问题

I am trying to figure out why our Gradle build is so slow. Currently each time you hit build with no changes the build time is around 45 seconds. This is a single module project. I have turned on profiling and most of the time is spent on :app:dexDebug. We are build using Gradle 2.8 and my dex options are as follows:

dexOptions { preDexLibraries = false incremental true javaMaxHeapSize "4g" }

From the profile report: :app 43.957s (total) :app:dexDebug 28.727s

Is there a way to speed this up? Why does dex have to be rebuilt each time?

Try disabling data binding:

//    dataBinding {
//        enabled = true
//    }

Also try

 ./gradlew  assembleDebug --profile
