It’s been some time now that Instant Run is not working anymore, that is, it’s slower than standard builds.
There’s some material in the AOSP bug tracker, but I could not work this out. I’m sure some of you will help.
Without Instant Run
Builds take about 1.30 min.
With Instant Run
I run the app for the first time, then apply some minor change. For example, change int a = 1 to int a = 2 inside a method, or alter a string.
Then click run again. What happens:
- A seemingly full build takes place (calling
assembleDebugon all my modules). Takes about 1.30 min. A second round goes on, calling just
app:assembleDebug. It takes about another minute:16:27:10 Executing tasks: [:app:assembleDebug] 16:28:16 Gradle build finished in 1m 5s 264ms 16:28:22 Instant Run applied code changes and restarted the app.
During the first round, no output whatsoever to Event Log or Gradle Console. During second round, the Gradle Console outputs lots of stuff and ends with
BUILD SUCCESSFUL
Total time: 51.385 secs
PREDEX CACHE HITS: 0

What can I do?
I have these in my grade.properties file:
org.gradle.jvmargs=-Xmx2048m -XX:MaxPermSize=512m -XX:+HeapDumpOnOutOfMemoryError -Dfile.encoding=UTF-8
org.gradle.parallel=true
org.gradle.daemon=true
Nothing dex related in build.gradle files. Not using Jack. Android Studio 2.2.3.
