Which Gradle task does AS run when I hit “Build > Make Project”?

[Carl Benson]

Executing tasks: [:app:assembleDebug, :app:assembleDebugUnitTest, :app:assembleDebugAndroidTest, :android-test-common:assembleDebug, :android-test-common:assembleDebugUnitTest, :android-test-common:assembleDebugAndroidTest] in project <redacted>

[Carl Benson]

in my case. you might see something else

[fengdai]

Yes. I see this:

[:app:assembleDebug]

Do you know why mine is different from yours?

[Carl Benson]

we have totally different build setups I would assume

[Antal János Monori]

It assembles the current application target + any tests that may depend on it + does optimisations for generating the apk that is custom to Android Studio: https://issuetracker.google.com/issues/164145066

I generally advise to use the command line as much as you can, unless you don’t care about the impact of that button and/or don’t have a big enough project at hand.

Also, consider adding gradle doctor to your build. its maintained by someone at gradle and it'll disallow you from doing things like hitting the make project button because you typically want something else instead.
