Is it possible to kill any running desktop app when starting a new build / gradle sync / etc in Android Studio? Right now, I can sit around and wait forever only to realize that nothing is actually happening until I close the app.

sorry, I don't get what you mean

I have same issue all the time. If you run say desktop app.....then switch to say run android app then nothing happens until you remember to stop desktop app (@Zoltan Demant if that's same as you're seeing?)

[Zoltan Demant]

Yes, thanks for doing the explaining for me 😃

[bod]

wow looks like a bug indeed

[Zoltan Demant]

Im afraid that even if it was possible to run a command together with say.. gradle sync, that kills any running apps.. wouldnt that also just wait forever?

[bod]

I don't see why the different run configuration shouldn't be independent - I'd report that to the AS bugtracker

[Zoltan Demant]

Afaik, it only happens with desktop.. when you run it, it basically behaves as if you have a task running (like gradle sync) until you close it. Im not sure its a bug though, but it might be worth reporting it just to get some eyes on it.

Also, I thought Id just ask about this to see if anyone knows a workaround. If anyone reading this want to submit a bug/feature request for it; you have my ⭐

[bod]

Be the change you wanna be! 😅

[Zoltan Demant]

I absolutely agree, I just dont have time to put anything meaningful together right now, sorry world 😅

I'd actually file that on the IntelliJ tracker because that is CMP features built by them, not us. We just inherit it.

this does not happen in IntelliJ only In AS

[Chris Sinco [G]]

Ah thanks. Has anyone filed a bug yet?

Also happens for wasm browser builds. Very annoying bug.
