How to project clean in Android Studio? - android-studio

I am new in Android Studio so I face some problem with it. I am looking for a way how to project clean.
In Eclipse I would do Project -> Clean -> OK but I don't know how it is done with Android Studio.

You can clean your project doing this
Build > Clean Project or Build > Rebuild Project
Also you can do the gradlew clean
As #Kellogs commented :
Manually delete the [project]/.gradle as hidden folder as that one is the main culprit for large cleaned projects sizes.

Cleaning an android project is quite simple just follow these steps
1. Click on Gradle pane,found in the top-right corner of Android Studio
2. Click on your project,then Tasks -> build ->clean
Step 1
Step 2
Note Never clean your project using the Build -> Clean Project.Instead of cleaning your project it will increase the size of it.
Update clean has been replaced by cleanBuildCache in the recent versions of Android Studio.

Gradle tasks are not showing in the gradle tool window in Android Studio 4.2

I just updated Android Studio to version 4.2. I was surprised to not see the Gradle tasks in my project.
In the previous version, 4.1.3, I could see the tasks as shown here:
But now I only see the dependencies in version 4.2:
I tried to clear Android Studio's cache and sync my project again, but there was no change.
Is this a feature change?
OK, I found why I got this behaviour in android studio 4.2.
It is intended behaviour. I found the answer in this post: https://issuetracker.google.com/issues/185420705.
Gradle task list is large and slow to populate in Android projects.
This feature by default is disabled for performance reasons. You can
re-enable it in: Settings | Experimental | Do not build Gradle task
list during Gradle sync.
Reload the Gradle project by clicking the "Sync Project with gradle Files" icon and the tasks will appear.
It could be cool that this experimental change is put in the release note of android studio 4.2.
Go to File -> Settings -> Experimental and uncheck Do not build Gradle task list during Gradle sync, then sync the project File -> Sync Project with Gradle Files. If the problem is still there, just reboot Android Studio.
1.
2.
Solution 1:
You can alternatively use the below gradle command to get all the tasks and run those in terminal
./gradlew tasks --all
Solution 2.
You can also create run configuration to run the tasks like below:
Step 1:
Step 2:
Step 3:
Then your run configuration will be listed like in step 1 image. You can choose and simply run it as usual.
To check the task list use the below command
./gradlew task
You will get the list of available task. To execute a particular task run command as follow
./gradlew <taskname>
Inside your android studio, select File option in toolbar -> then click on Settings option.
From settings, select the last option "Experimental"
Within there, select Uncheck the option that I have shared the screenshot below.
Then click Apply.
4. After that, Sync your project again from the file option, over their Sync project with Gradle Files
All set :)
This solution works for me
Go to File -> Settings -> Experimental and uncheck Do not build Gradle task list during Gradle sync, then sync the project File -> Sync Project with Gradle Files.
I had a similar issue and I solved it by executing the following terminal command in my Android Studio Terminal:
./gradlew tasks --all
For Android Studio Electric Eel | 2022.1.1 and later
Go to settings and uncheck this thing in below picture:
After that, sync your project again

android studio cannot find the file

my android studio says gradle build finished but does not run tasks because and gives the error
C:\Users\The Lepdungs\AndroidStudioProjects\MyApplication2.gradle\buildOutputCleanup\cache.properties (The system cannot find the file specified)
Try going to Build -> Clean Project.
If that doesn't work then try File -> Invalidate Caches/Restart.
The problem is due to caches that android studio has made, so when it creates new files, there's a problem. One of the above steps should solve it.

Gradle build completed successfully but Android Studio cannot resolve dependencies

I've a weird case where gradle builds OK, but Android Studio's editor cannot resolve dependencies.
External classes references appear in red and I cannot CTRL+click on these classes to see the source.
Any idea how to solve this ?
I'm using Android Studio 3.1 and gradle 4.4
For those interested, I solved the problem as follows:
removed the files in the project 's .idea\libraries
menu File -> Invalidate Caches / Restart...
menu Build -> Rebuild Project

Android studio location of caches/generated sources

I have switched to using Android Studio 3.1 RC2. I have detected that when I switch branches, I am running across generated sources from other branch. They still show up even if I do Build -> Clean Project. Or manually delete build folders in all my modules as well as top level build folder.
Only way to rectify this is delete .gradle folder in my project directory and my $HOME/.gradle , this is very time consuming.
Where does Android Studio keep its caches of generated files. I have tried Android Studio's clean "Invalidate Caches/Restart" without much help.
You can use
./gradlew cleanBuildCache
to clean up all caches under HOME/.gradle
See: https://developer.android.com/studio/build/build-cache.html

This version of android studio is incompatible with the gradle version used.Try disabling the instant run

I am able to build the app properly, but when I run it I get this error:
This version of android studio is incompatible with the gradle version used.Try disabling the instant run
You can use normal build run rather than instant run.
Check first
Go to Settings/Preferences > Build, Execution, Deployment option > Instant Run and uncheck all the three boxes.
Upgrading Gradle services URL:
Project > Gradle > Wrapper > gradle-wrapper.properties
Change URL from
distributionUrl=https\://services.gradle.org/distributions/gradle-2.10-all.zip
to
distributionUrl=https\://services.gradle.org/distributions/gradle-2.11-all.zip
(Find latest distributionUrl gradle plugin version Here: http://services.gradle.org/distributions
**Make sure to use gradle-x.xx-all.zip
)
Delete your build folder
When you run project, build folder will be created automatically
Go to BUILD option in menu > Clean the project, Build the project
It should work without instant run.
I had easy steps & correct way also
1 - In Settings -> Build, Execution, Deployment option -> Instant Run
2 - Clear Enable instant run to hot swap code
3 - Clean project
p/s : It should totally work.
The Gradle Plugin used is typically the same as the version of Android studio you are using.
Check the Android Studio version
Help → About
and the version will read
Android Studio Version X.Y.Z
Then, go to
Project → Gradle Scripts → build.gradle(Project)
and under dependencies change the classpath to
classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:X.Y.Z'
and rebuild/sync the project.
You can disable instant run by follow these steps in Android Studio:
File → Settings → Preferences dialog → Build → Execution → Deployment
→ Instant Run → Update Project
This feature introduced in Android Studio 2. however, when you disable it, next time when you try to push new app to your emulator is running much slower.
In my case I just update Android Studio to the latest build from canary channel and it's works without disable this feature.
Hope it's help
As commented by sjd: Just cleaning the project and build again might help if you, just like me, have used the automatic update applied by android studio.
I just did a Build > Clean project and then reRun app!
I wanted to run the app in debug mode and got the same message, so I tried:
File > Invalidate caches and restart...
Clean project
Build project
Nothing worked...
Then, I just clicked on the green arrow to run the project without debugging...
Worked!
So then I just added a debugging session with the option left of the stop button in Android Studio.
I did fix by this way.
Update your classpath to classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:2.0.0' in your top level build.gradle file.
Done
I just Deleted the Build Folder and Clean project.It worked for me...!!!
In Android Studio 2.3.3
File -> Settings -> Build, Execution, Deployment -> Instant Run -> Unable Instant Run to hot swap code (Uncheck it)
Now, you have disable Instant Run...
It will solve Instant Run issue.
