Android Studio Canary 4.1 Memory 设置

Question

I'm trying to increase my heap size, but the android studio setting window keeps loading. Does anyone know how to fix it?

Answer 1

Is this Android Studio 4.1 Canary 9? I had the same issue when migrating to Canary 9, and traced it through idea.log in %APPDATA%\Local\Google\AndroidStudioPreview4.1\log\ , which for me reads

java.nio.file.InvalidPathException: Illegal char <:> at index 76: S:\Android\Android Studio\Canary\android-studio\bin\studio64.exe.vmoptions,C:\Users\<username>\AppData\Roaming\Google\AndroidStudioPreview4.1\studio64.exe.vmoptions

4.1 Canary 9 is the first release based off of IDEA 2020.1 and has a new system for storing configuration (in the %APPDATA% folder rather than the hidden .AndroidStudioX.X folders of the past). It seems like a new studio64.exe.vmoptions (the file which holds memory settings) is being created in the configuration folder, in addition to its original location at the install location, so when the parser gets to the second path, it throws that error. I solved it by deleting both files and restarting Android Studio, which made the memory settings reappear for me.
