My android project has over 30 build flavors and I started seeing the slowdown. Android Studio just keeps freezing whenever I type a character or add a new line.
Filed a bug with Google but haven't heard back.
Has anyone run into this issue before?
Any help will be very appreciated.
Have you tried disabling Instant Run?
I would need more info on your config but it sounds like you probably have Instant Run enabled. The larger and more complex your project becomes, the higher the impact on IDE performance.
If you haven’t tried already, it’s worth a shot:
Android Studio -> Preferences -> Build, Execution, Deployment -> Instant Run
You may need to uninstall Android Studio. After a while it starts to present these freezes kind of without explanation. Whenever I face this type of problem in the IDE I reinstall it and it returns to normal.

Android Studio 2.1 instant run is not updating the app on the device
I observed an issue with AndroidStudio 2.1. When I run the app with small java code changes, it doesn't update app on the device sometimes. Instead it shows a message
No changes to deploy // (Don't show again)
Am I missing any thing here?
As a work around I do clean build every time in order to reflect the changes in app.
Upgrade Android studio version to 3 or more. this bug is resolved.
This was a bug on version 2.0 instant run and issues were reported check these links

thing to do would be to disable Instant Run entirely by
Settings > Build, Execution, Deployment > Instant Run > Enable
Instant Run

Thats a bug in Android Studio, I noticed it in build 2.0 sometimes it failed to update, so what i do is I rebuild the entire project, one more thing, if you have multidex enabled and your device is not running 5 <it will not work, make sure its disabled and rebuild your project.
I have just noticed that whenever i closed my app and then run it worked. See my post here.

When I install my application in debug mode, and open it for the first time it takes a lot of time (nearly 20-30 seconds). I guess it is due to multi dex enabled. It is happening after updating my Android Studio to version 2.0 and upgrding the android gradle plugin to version '2.0.0'. What is the reason for this behaviour? Is somebody else also facing similar issues?
I have been testing on Moto G3 with android marshmallow.
This happens most of the time because of the prolonged time needed to build the solution. The time needed to build a solution is mostly dependent on the number of libraries you are referencing, and the complexity of your code.
Remember that it is the first time you are building the app, so Android Studio has no record of the solution in its cache, hence it has to build everything from scratch.
Android Studio 2.0 also has the instant run feature, so it takes longer to run the first time, so that you can then debug instantly in the subsequent runs.
Hope this helps :)
I think is because of the new Instant Run feature. The first time takes a lot of time, but after that new changes are visible almost at the same time in your device.
In any case you can disable Instant Run in: File->Settings->Build,Execution,Deployment->Instant Run
There is an issue with multidex and API level 21+, relative to Instant Run. The documentation only mentions it without explanation though.
Instant Run
Settings/Preferences(Mac) → Build, Execution, Deployment → Instant Run and uncheck Instant Run
I was also facing the same problem and finally i fixed this.
note: 1) before generating an apk file unchecked all these option to resolve delay issue from your production build.
2) while you are developing or adding new features then keep it as default setting(instant run) to make development faster.
I hope this will resolve your issue.
I download the latest Android Studio 2.0 from Android Develop Website.
But when I change a line of code and use the "instant run", instead of updating the changes, it prompt me "no changes to deploy".
This will happen on code changes and XML changes.
But when I restart Android Studio, things will works fine for once or twice and then "no changes to deploy" Come again!
I used my old SDK on Android Studio older version.
JDK is 1.7.0
Windows7 64
So, is anyone has this same bug?
A lot of people are having this issue as Instant Run is still quite buggy. The best thing to do would be to disable Instant Run entirely by Preferences > Build, Execution, Deployment > Instant Run > Enable Instant Run
Solved by rebuilding Project (menu Build -> Rebuild project)
This sounds like a bug. It would be super helpful to our team if you can report the bug with specific repro steps so we can investigate. Without your help, it's going to be very difficult for us to track down these problems. We want Instant Run to work for you.

Also having this issue with Android Studio 2.1. Turning off Instant Run seems to have fixed it, which is unfortunate, but I was wasting more time failing to understand why old code was being run than Instant Run was saving me! Running Ubuntu, so agree not just a Windows bug.
Run TAB next to anroid-monitor, sometimes it shows, no changes to deploy mean changes in code has not been added to your app(this bug has been resolved to a great extent).
Sometimes it runs the new app and when you restart your app it shows the old one(this bug has been resolved, officially declared on android site ).
Solution :
Disable instant run under your project settings(you can face some error while gradle build if you switch from instant-Run to normal one then Try clean option or if still there's an error then you can delete those files at the path shown by the error)
Try to use the latest studio release which has totally improved
instant-run.
Not a solution but as a better workaround I'd prefer to:
Press "Recent Apps"
Simply close my app from the list
Run the app again
This takes less time than Clean and Rebuild.
Update:
Rerun the app also works:
When Instant Run does not works correctly:
As far as I realized, Instant Run works properly when I change my views ids otherwise it does't recognise changes in xml and gives me "No changes to deploy"
I also used clean and rerun app or Cntrl+F5 this fix my problem
I have been quite interested in developing an application for my Android device. I downloaded the all the required tools for VS2010 following this guide - http://mono-android.net/Installation/Visual_Studio and everything went pretty smoothly.
Now, the first time I ran the default application and it copied everything to the emulator, it ran perfectly. If I make a simple change to the application and hit F5 to redeploy - it starts the app, but it seems to have the old version on there still and doesn't show my changes. I've cleaned the solution and rebuilt the application, so I don't think its that. I've also completely changed the code (just in case it was something I was doing wrong), but that didn't work either. Oh and the build also succeeds!
Now the Emulator seems a bit flaky and slow...but is it something that I am doing? Is there somewhere I need to clear before hitting F5?
When it is doing the deploy, does it say "Uninstalling the previous version"?
Another thing to try is to manually remove the app from the emulator (Settings -> Applications -> Manage Applications -> -> Uninstall. Then deploy again and see if the new version is copying. This should narrow down if it's a deployment issue or a build issue.
The following situation will surely be familiar to any Android developer using Eclipse and ADT.
I'm tired of this endless cycle of switching Build Automatically on and off, running Clean, building and running. I'm constantly doing all of these operations when I'm fine tuning UI (i.e., editing XML files and needing to see the results live), and any time I save, an Eclipse window telling me I have these pending operations shows up. When that happens, I turn off Build Automatically. I do my alterations and then run. Sometimes Eclipse decides the changes in the XML file weren't enough, and it won't reinstall the app in the emulator or device, so I force a build and install.
All of this is just wasted time. I've already done an AppleScript to build & run my app into all the emulators and devices I have connected at once, described in this SO question, but my workflow could be much improved if I found a way to save and build silently and fast.
Does anyone have any tips or alternatives?
IntelliJIdea Community Edition now supports Android
Have you tried the bundle for Textmate? It's pretty cool. It's basic but its got all the features you need. Building, Deployment and integration with AVD and Logcat.
I use this for all my Android Dev now as I found Eclipse painfully slow.
