Hot code swap in Android Studio with libgdx


I am using Android Studio (IntelliJ) to program Android apps and am facing a problem with hot code swapping and libgdx. When I run the desktop application in demo mode everything works fine. If I try to change a bit (e.g. the color of an element) nothing is refreshed in the application. Even if I select Run->Reload changed changes a new gradle build is started (takes very long) and then says couldn't find any changes.

I have imported the same sample application in eclipse. There I can just change something in the code and it is immediately shown in the running app.

Anyone else experiencing this issue? Why is this not possible in IntelliJ?


Solution

  • Unfortunately, hot swap debugging does not appear to work when using the Gradle template.
