Hi peple, I bring to you a great tool, it's no mine, but I will show it to you:
Android SDK sucks. It's so slow to build and run which waste me a lot of time every day.
Motivation
Facebook Buck http://github.com/facebook/buck build is fast. However, the biggest problem with Buck is, it requires you to change a lot of codes, and restructs your project in small modules. Indeed, it is troublesome to just make it work properly on the existing android project, especially if you have big project. I have tried using Buck build system instead of Gradle on my test project. However, it took me a week just to make it work.
What I needs is a build tool that is easy to setup, fast as Buck, and provide a Run button in Android Studio. So I created LayoutCast.
LayoutCast is a little tool to help with that, it will cast every changes in your Java source code or resources (including library project) to your phone or emulator within 5 sec, and does not restart your application.

Features
Fast cast code and resource changes, usually less than 5 sec.
Cast does not reset your application. The running activity stack will be kept.
Easy to setup, only add few lines of code.
Support both eclipse and AndroidStudio project.
Provide a AndroidStudio plugin to click and cast.
Limitations
LayoutCast only support Mac (for now)
Cast Java code only support ART runtime (Android 5.0)
Link LayoutCast
(Timeszoro fork is more recent)
