The problem is that the resource compilation/packaging does not support building incremental.
Changing a resource will force a new compilation of the full resources which means a new R.java which means a new compilation, which means building a new classes.dex Additionnally, it'll package the whole resources (into binary files) and then will repackage it all into an apk. If you don't change the resources, for example editing a java file, then it should only recreate classes.dex (after java compilation) and repackage the apk with the already compiled resources.
