But if you also use Gradle by command line, it will not be using the instance started by the IDE, but a new one as the terminal will be using your machine’s JVM.

This makes the next compilations much faster.Īndroid Studio contains its own JVM, which is installed inside it and is used for its builds within the IDE, therefore, its own Daemon instance.
