Is there a way to get Eclipse to automatically clear every run?

I am developing for Android and using Eclipse to create apk, which also has a .so file with C ++ code. My problem is that when I just change the code in C ++ and recompile that outside of Eclipse, Eclipse actually does not always see that it has changed, and I have to clean up the project and rebuild it before I can run reliably his. This behavior cost me a lot of time because Eclipse is not using the new .so file.

Is there a way to make Eclipse always rebuild the project before it starts?

I'm not sure how familiar you are with ant, but if you are compiling C ++ files through the command line, you need to think about creating an ant build script that will:

  • recompile your c ++ files
  • clean and create your apk
  • install apk on your device.

Then you can be sure that the generated apk is always created using the last compiled code.

In the "Project Settings" section, go to "C / C ++ Build.

Select the "Developer Settings" tab.

Uncheck "Use default build command" and in the "Build command" field, simply add the target "clean" as the first target.

eg. if you have

> make -j2 settings

change it to

 > make clean -j2 settings

As far as I know, there is no way to make eclipse always clean when you press the play button. You may consider another IDE such as IntelliJ. You never have to “clean” the project, so I assume that they rebuild the project every time you press the play button ...
