I'm compiling my (fairly simple, just 5 files with few hundred LOC) app from command line on OSX using:
ant debug
It works. But it works slowly:
BUILD SUCCESSFUL
Total time:
26 seconds
Why is that? It takes this much time even if I change only one line in one java file. Most of this time is spent in dex
stage (about 20 seconds), which is AFAIK creating Dalvik bytecode. But my friend that also works on the same project on Windows using Eclipse says that compiling takes only a second or two on his machine. Is there anything I can do to speed up this proccess?
