Apps Difference betw Clean Project and Rebuild Project

[ac4android]

There doesn't seem to be any difference in A/S 2.1.1

Anyway, I rebuild the hold thing in the hold that it doesn't drag along any old APK artifacts...

I don't (really) use Android Studio that much (I've got a really early version installed), but in Eclipse, a "clean project" will rip-out / delete any of the generated binaries/libraries, etc. associated with the app.

I use that feature/function before I make a copy of the workspace folder/directory since it's so much smaller (i.e., is a nice "source-only" (mostly) content) that I can archive off for my history/backup versions.

Rebuilding (I would think) simply does that: re-builds the project (but maybe with an implicit clean beforehand instead of just incrementally compiling those things that have changed?).

Cheers!

scary alien is right.
In studio, A clean removes all build artifacts. While a rebuild does a clean followed by a build of your project.
