Comment on Buck: A high-performance build tool for Android

Comments

The Vine team is using Buck and Gradle side by side to take advantage of both (Buck for dev, Gradle to use with standard Android tools) http://engineering.vine.co/post/117873038742/reducing-build-...

Interesting idea, thanks for sharing that post ! Compilation times are seriously affecting my ability to work (and the fact that my startup thinks it is a good idea to provide shitty computers to their engineers does not help at all, my machine freezes during compilations). Unless Google announces something during I/O, we might take the plunge and start converting our buildscripts to Buck.

And Google delivered at I/O (or at least promised that a fix is incoming).

Did you guys end up integrating Buck into Android Studio or just running it command line?

Running it via command line. Android Studio still uses Gradle.
