what is compileDebugJavaWithJavac task?

Question

I found this task takes even half of total gradle execute task time. When I used -x to disable this task, everything seems still worked perfectly. So I want to know more about this task, and whether I should disable it.

compileDebugJavaWithJavac is for check whether you follow the proper structure for Java code and compiler will check whether it makes sense or not .

If you disable it . It can create runtime error and your application may crash on various devices .
