droidcon SF 2018 - Improving Android Build performance

Tony Robalik

Improving Android Build performance

We all know a fast build makes for a happy developer. Unfortunately, it’s easy for Android builds get complex and slow. You’ve updated to the latest Android Plugin, but your still waiting more than you like, what do you do?

Recent Gradle releases give you new capabilities to improve your build speed up to an order of magnitude. This session discusses how you can :

Identify performance bottlenecks with build scans
Fix common problems like: slow configuration time, tasks running when they shouldn’t, and builds that don’t parallelize well.
Use new Gradle annotation processing features to enable incremental builds instead of full builds
