Cross-Compilation: Set up your computer to build Rust code for Android without needing an Android device. This helps compile code for Android’s system without using an actual Android device.
Cargo Tweaks:
Use Rust's package manager, Cargo, to make builds faster. Commands like "--release" and "--target" can speed up building by making optimized builds for Android.
Caching:
Use tools like sccache or ccache to save previously compiled code. This helps speed up future builds by reusing what's already been built.
Parallel Builds:
Make Cargo use multiple processors to build code faster. You can do this by using the "-j" flag when building.
Check Code and Dependencies:
Look at your code and the things it depends on. Sometimes, slow code or heavy dependencies can slow down the building process.
Incremental Compilation:
Cargo can compile only the parts of code that have changed since the last build. Make sure this feature is turned on.
Update Rust and Tools:
Always use the newest stable versions of Rust and associated tools. Newer versions often come with faster performance.
Optimize for Android:
Rust for Android might have specific ways to make things faster. Check the documentation for tips on making Rust work better with Android.
Better Hardware:
If possible, use a faster and more powerful computer for building. More powerful computers can compile code faster.
Remember to test how these changes affect performance to see which ones make the biggest difference for your specific situation.
