A gradle Task to Save your time

#android #gradle

Recently, while running Android Studio I got next error from time to time which waste much time which can be increased based on project size (at least 1 minute, so this amount is multiplied with each build we do):

The process cannot access the file because it is being used by another process.

This can be caused when some plugins run another Java instance so they lock files from one to the other So solution is to kill java process by using:
TASKKILL /F /IM java.exe.

So I searched to make this automated somehow And found we can declare simple gradle task to do this job, it as next( write it at build.gradle)

task killJavaProcess(type:Exec ){
    commandLine 'cmd', '/c', 'TASKKILL /F /IM java.exe'
}

Then to make it be done before each build go to build task at right side of gradle and choose to run before build as next:

Have nice coding.

An Animated Guide to Node.js Event Loop

Node.js doesn’t stop from running other operations because of Libuv, a C++ library responsible for the event loop and asynchronously handling tasks such as network requests, DNS resolution, file system operations, data encryption, etc.

What happens under the hood when Node.js works on tasks such as database queries? We will explore it by following this piece of code step by step.
