Build times breaking your flow? Learn how to make them fast!
summary
Shows concrete wins and how they’re achieved: a worst‑case fresh Gradle build downloads and configures everything and can take ~8 minutes, a fully up‑to‑date run drops to ~3 seconds, a cached APK redeploys in ~38 ms, small UI edits hit ~60 ms and ABI changes ~6 s. Uses Gradle 9.2, build scans plus the local and remote build cache, and the free developer plugin to inspect timelines; enables Configuration Cache and plans Isolated Projects and predictive test selection to avoid work and increase parallelism.
