I have a relatively big Android project that contains about 200-250 resources, mainly .xml layouts. This means that when I modify and save one of them, the following rebuilding process takes about 1 min, which is damn annoying on the long run.
Could you recommend any tips that help on this matter?
Yes update to the latest Eclipse Android Plugin (ADT version 12), then go:
Window > Preferences > Android > Build > TICK ‘Skip packaging and dexing until export…’
This will stop building till you export, just like it saves, knocks a few seconds off your save time when editing XML files in a large project.
