Android studio very slow gradle build

Question

I'm new to Android Studio ... when I run my project, it takes about 14 minutes to build gradle. I am testing solutions to improve build speed as indicated in here

My gradle.properties file:

## Project-wide Gradle settings. org.gradle.daemon=true org.gradle.jvmargs=-Xmx2048m -XX:MaxPermSize=512m -XX:+HeapDumpOnOutOfMemoryError -Dfile.encoding=UTF-8 org.gradle.parallel=true org.gradle.configureondemand=true 

but the problem remains the same, and each of these lines fades in color, just like the code for comment lines. when the mouse hovers over it, a message appears that says “Unused property”. This check reports all properties that are not referenced by the external properties file "

how can i fix this? Thanks

Answer 1

make gradle.properties file in C:\Users\<username>\.gradle (Windows)

then add this line to the file:

 org.gradle.daemon=true 

Answer 2

A solution for Linux / OSX might look like this:

 echo 'org.gradle.daemon=true' >> ~/.gradle/gradle.properties echo 'org.gradle.configureondemand=true' >> ~/.gradle/gradle.properties echo 'org.gradle.parallel=true' >> ~/.gradle/gradle.properties echo 'org.gradle.jvmargs=-Xmx2048m -XX:MaxPermSize=512m -XX:+HeapDumpOnOutOfMemoryError -Dfile.encoding=UTF-8' >> ~/.gradle/gradle.properties 

Using these commands, you make changes to the global gradle.properties file.
