Step 2: Enable Offline mode, Gradle daemon and parallel build for the project. Offline mode tells Gradle to ignore update-to-date checks. Gradle asks for dependencies everytime and having this option makes it just uses what is already on the machine for dependencies. Go to Gradle from android studio Setting and click in Offline work box. Expected Behavior Gradle daemon should not get killed unexpectedly. Current Behavior The Gradle daemon just crashes. If the environment variables have Japanese and/or space. Though I dont know why env var are listed in logs of gradle bui. No, Gradle (as of this writing, v1.10) has a limitation that you can't cancel tasks through its tooling API, which is what Android Studio uses to communicate with its daemon. You can track the progress of this at https://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=59464. Summary I would like to know how to kill every single gradle daemon and process running on a machine regardless of the version of gradle or the version of the daemon, but the '-kill' or '-stop' command will only stop those processes that match the same version of gradle. If you wish to stop a Daemon process before this, you can either kill the process via your operating system or run the gradle -stop command. The -stop switch causes Gradle to request that all running Daemon processes, of the same Gradle version used to run the command, terminate themselves.
I have been getting push-back from the development team over our new Gradle-based build, as it is an order of magnitude slower to build and launch the application than it was using the old IDE-based build.
I investigated using the Gradle daemon to improve the situation, and this initially looked promising, but I have run into a problem. When I run tasks like build, clean, distTar, etc, the daemon process continues running in the background, and subsequent tasks run much more quickly.
However, when I use the 'Run' task to launch the application, and then stop the application via a control-c on the command line, or the 'stop' function in the IDE (IntelliJ IDEA), then the daemon process is killed, and the subsequent task is again very slow to start. How can I ensure the daemon continues to run even when the run task is ended?
