title: Building and running app via Gradle and Android Studio is slower than via Eclipse
body: <p>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, which is extremely slow.</p>
  
  <p>Is it possible to automate building process in Android Studio? Or do you have any advice on how to make this process faster?</p>
  
  <p>In Eclipse, thanks to automatic building, running the same project on an emulator takes about 3-5 seconds.</p>
  
  <p>This is my build.gradle file (app module):</p>
  
  <pre><code>buildscript {
      repositories {
          maven { url 'http://repo1.maven.org/maven2' }
      }
      dependencies {
          classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:0.4'
      }
  }
  apply plugin: 'android'
  
  dependencies {
      compile fileTree(dir: 'libs', include: '*.jar')
      compile project(':libraries:SharedLibs')
      compile project(':libraries:actionbarsherlock')
      compile project(':libraries:FacebookSDK')
      compile project(':libraries:GooglePlayServices')
      compile project(':libraries:HorizontalGridView')
      compile project(':libraries:ImageViewTouch')
      compile project(':libraries:SlidingMenu')
  }
  
  android {
      compileSdkVersion 17
      buildToolsVersion "17.0.0"
  
      defaultConfig {
          minSdkVersion 8
          targetSdkVersion 16
      }
  }
  </code></pre>
