Android Studio is very slow

Question

I have a project with about 20 modules inside. Gradle clean takes about 5min. As ell if i add a new module gradle update projects needs more than 5min.

There are no dependencies to external libraries. Dependencies are only inside the project between several modules.

I had same Project without gradle and it worked fine. I did not convert the old project to gradle. I have created a new project with the file structure recomended by gradle. But with this performance this is not very usefull...

Any idea what's going wrong with gradle?

Answer 1

Just create a file named gradle.properties in the following directory:

/home/<username>/.gradle/ (Linux)
/Users/<username>/.gradle/ (Mac)
C:Users<username>.gradle (Windows)

Add this line to the file:

org.gradle.daemon=true
