Alternatives to compiling in Eclipse?

The following situation will surely be familiar to any Android developer 开发者_JAVA百科using Eclipse and ADT.

I'm tired of this endless cycle of switching Build Automatically on and off, running Clean, building and running. I'm constantly doing all of these operations when I'm fine tuning UI (i.e., editing XML files and needing to see the results live), and any time I save, an Eclipse window telling me I have these pending operations shows up. When that happens, I turn off Build Automatically. I do my alterations and then run. Sometimes Eclipse decides the changes in the XML file weren't enough, and it won't reinstall the app in the emulator or device, so I force a build and install.

All of this is just wasted time. I've already done an AppleScript to build & run my app into all the emulators and devices I have connected at once, described in this SO question, but my workflow could be much improved if I found a way to save and build silently and fast.

Does anyone have any tips or alternatives?

IntelliJIdea Community Edition now supports Android

Have you tried the bundle for Textmate? It's pretty cool. It's basic but its got all the features you need. Building, Deployment and integration with AVD and Logcat.

I use this for all my Android Dev now as I found Eclipse painfully slow.
