java.lang.OutOfMemoryError：GC开销限制超出了android studio

Question

I have read all the other questions related to this error and have tried their solution, but it doesn't help.

Here is my build.gradle

 apply plugin: 'com.android.application'
apply plugin: 'android-apt'
apply plugin: 'io.fabric'

I have tried it on Android Studio 2.1.3 and Android Studio 2.2.3 I have tried uninstalling jdk and then reinstalling it. I have formatted my windows and retried, but to no avail.

I keep on getting java.lang.OutOfMemoryError: GC overhead limit exceeded error

How do I solve this?

Answer 1

I fixed it myself. The problem was solved when i trimmed the number of dependencies that i was using. So for anyone facing this issue, just try to lessen the number of libraries you are using.

Answer 2

A further solution is use gradle file. I overcame the error using by gradle.properties file. If there isn't in your project, you should create the file in project level . Gradle use 1024m memory by default. You can increase up to 1536m (I did 2048m because I have 16g memory). I don't take an error after do that.
