Ok, so I'm a student and in my free time, I mostly write a bit of python, C++ and a bit Haskell for fun...

I wanted to try out Android development now...

HOLY FUCKETY FUCK, THIS SHIT TAKES TIME!

most of the time, I get an idea, open vscode and start typing (maybe install some modules for like 10 minutes), not with this: Android studio took hours to download with all the needed SDKs and libraries, then I created a new empty(!) Activity, then fucking Gradle needs hours to get it fucking ready... On a fucking XPS 13 9370!

How do you guys cope with that waiting, does it scale that way to bigger projects?
I would call myself rather patient, but if I have an idea, I don't want to set up the most basic environment for 3 hours...

Man that shit is bulky...

    Android studio is a Tank loaded with fuck tones of useful features.. And yeah, first run might take time.. But once you got everything installed, its good to go from there 👌

    This actually isn't Android Studio, this seems like you need a better PC. Mine takes seconds to build a full project.

    If you're using Windows add all the Gradle and Android studio folders to exclude them from Windows Defender or whatever antivirus you're using, otherwise every generated Gradle file will have to be checked and it will be really slow. Google where exactly they're located
