Android Studio tips: improve build by setting org.gradle.jvmargs in Gradle script

Dex In Process (introduced from Android 2.1) is a feature that can improve build times, as well as Instant Run performance. To take advantage of Dex In Process, you’ll need to modify your gradle.properties file and increase the amount of memory allocated to the Gradle Daemon VM to a minimum of 2 Gb, using the org.gradle.jvmargs property.

org.gradle.jvmargs=-Xmx2048m
