Building and running app via Gradle and Android Studio is slower than via Eclipse

Question

I have a multi-project (~10 modules) of which building takes about 20-30 seconds each time. When I press Run in Android Studio, I have to wait every time to rebuild the app,

Answer 1

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

/home//.gradle/ (Linux)
/Users//.gradle/ (Mac)
C:\Users\\.gradle (Windows)

Add this line to the file:

org.gradle.daemon=true

For me the speed is now equal to Eclipse.
