The Build Side of an Android App Nikita Kozlov Zalando
SE @Nikita_E_Kozlov Boris Farber Google @borisfarber
Background • Build improvement is the most requested feature from
developers • Worked with a few companies to speed up their builds • Share best practices and patterns
Problem • You add new features, libraries and frameworks. •
You refactor your code to smaller classes, add tests • Somehow, the build times add up
We don’t think about our build as a design component
Build challenge • Analysing build takes time • Difficult to
estimate and prioritize • Build improvement might be ambiguous
Focus on following • Build Tools versions • Hardware •
Modularization
Our process Create a test project Implement suggestion Test &
Measure Implement within a real project Android Studio Poet Gradle Profiler*
Incremental build change a Java/Kotlin file assembleDebug
Build Tools versions
Versions we tested • Gradle: 4.3.1 to 4.8 • Android
Gradle Plugin: from 3.0.1 to 3.1.2 • Kotlin: from 1.1.60 to 1.2.50
What about Build Tools versions? 2x speed up just from
the build tools
Another easy win From the build scan: • Compilation -
35% • Dexing - 55%
Dexing is a limiting step .CLASS .CLASS .CLASS .DEX .DEX
.DEX Will be faster if min SDK is 21 .CLASS
Incremental build with min SDK 21 Set min SDK to
21 during development to increase your build speed
Better Hardware
Hardware MacBook Pro 2015 • 13-inch • 2.7 GHz Intel
Core i5 • 16 GB 1867 MHz DDR3 MacBook Pro 2017 • 15-inch • 2,8 GHz Intel Core i7 • 16 GB 2133 MHz LPDDR3 vs
Hardware • Better hardware reduces build time significantly • Sometimes
even more than modularization
Background processes matters • Background processes reduces build time •
Antivirus made build speed 3 times slower
Modularization
Modularization - theory Module 2 Module 3 Module 1 App
Module App Module Key principles: 1. Parallelization 2. Caching 3. Compile avoidance
Compile Avoidance App Feature Incremental build after a change of
method’s body in Feature: 8s Incremental build after a adding a public method to Feature: 10s
Extracting rarely-changed code reduces build time App Incremental build with
a change in App: 55s Incremental build with a change in App: 39s App Utils
Work against tests whenever you can App Incremental build of
App with a change in App: 55s Incremental build of Utils module: 26s App Utils
Change in the library module vs application module App Utils
Incremental build of App module: 39s Incremental build of Utils module: 26s
Intermodule dependencies increase build time Incremental build with change in
Feature 3: 1m 5s Incremental build with change in Feature 3: 1m 11s Feature 1 Feature 3 Feature 2 App Feature 2 Feature 3 Feature 1 App
Start simple if you don’t have time App Tracking Utils
Core UI Networking App Feature Feature Feature Common code
Use a topology that works for you App App Monolith
Incremental build with change in App: 81s Incremental build with change in Main: 92s
Use a topology that works for you App Feature App
Monolith Feature Incremental build with change in Feature: 10s Incremental build with change in Feature: 7s
Modularization rules of thumb • Extract utils and other rarely-changed
code • Keep in mind the intermodule dependencies • Developing library modules in TDD way helps • Measure on a test project first
Our process Create a test project Implement suggestion Test &
