My Android Studio project used to build faster but now it takes a long time to build. Any ideas what could be causing the delays? I have tried https://stackoverflow.com/a/27171878/391401 but no effect. I haven't any Anti virus running which could interrupt the builds. My app is not that big in size as well (around 5MB) and it used to build within few seconds but not sure what has changed.

Found the reason!! If Android Studio has a proxy server setting and can't reach the server then it takes a long time to build, probably its trying to reach the proxy server and waiting for a timeout. When I removed the proxy server setting its working fine.
Removing proxy: File > Settings > Appearance & Behavior > System settings > HTTP Proxy
