Android Studio is one of the powerful IDE for android application development. It is based on IntelliJ IDEA. Android Studio have lots of features like flexible gradle-based build system, rich layout editor with support for drag and drop design, direct sharing project to GitHub, build various and multiple apk file generator and lot more. Android Studio project files are managed systematically. But one of the big problems for android developers is, it sometime runs slowly.
In this article I am going to show how to make your android studio run faster and faster. There are lots of ways to make android studio fast but here I have explained some important among them.
Step 1: Open your Android Studio, Go to file >> settings or simply press ctrl + alt + s, new window appears there which looks like this.
Step 2: From side menu, click Gradle and check Offline work under Global Gradle setting and hit OK button, file >> settings >> Gradle.
Step 3: Again, Go to file >> setting and click Compiler from side menu and then type --offline in the command-line options box and hit OK button like this:
Note: After Completing these all ways you should restart your Android Studio.
Look at this screenshot to add these two lines in gradle.properties file:
Note: After Completing these all ways, you should restart your Android Studio.
We all know that we should always test our application on a real device before releasing any application. If you use real device instead of android emulator any time (running, debugging, and testing your applications) if possible, that helps you to run your project fast and Android Studio too.
If you are unable to use real device, don’t use android default emulator as that makes your android studio slow. Instead of using default emulator, I recommend you to use Genymotion Android Emulator. Genymotion is one of the popular android emulators and this runs fast and smooth.
If you have any other ways to speed up android studio, feel free to post your answer in the comment box.

Use Real Device to Compile Android Project
We all know that we should always test our application on a real device before releasing any application. If you use real device instead of android emulator any time (running, debugging, and testing your applications) if possible, that helps you to run your project fast and Android Studio too.
