Android Studio Build gradle OutOfMemoryError

Question

I'm new in Android. I import Github project in Android studio, but i see this problem `Error:java.lang.OutOfMemoryError: Java heap space

Error:java.lang.OutOfMemoryError: Java heap space. Please assign more memory to Gradle in the project's gradle.properties file. For example, the following line, in the gradle.properties file, sets the maximum Java heap size to 1,024 MB: org.gradle.jvmargs=-Xmx1024m Read Gradle's configuration guide
Read about Java's heap size

I can't fix this problem with this . how should i do to fix that?

Answer 1

One of the methods below should work for you:

METHOD 1 :

Open gradle.properties file from your project tree add this line at the memory allocation line

org.gradle.jvmargs=-XX\:MaxHeapSize\=256m -Xmx256m

or

org.gradle.jvmargs=-XX\:MaxHeapSize\=512m -Xmx512m

or

org.gradle.jvmargs=-XX\:MaxHeapSize\=1024m -Xmx1024m

Depending on the Memory of your computer. Then

Invalidate Caches/Restart project from the File > Invalidate Caches/Restart

To clean up your gradle cache and implement your new heap size memory changes

METHOD 2 :

Step 1 : Start Android studio and close any open project (File > Close Project).

Step 2 : On Welcome window, Go to Configure > Settings.

Step 3 : Go to Build, Execution, Deployment > Compiler

Step 4 : Change Build process heap size (Mbytes) to 512 and Additional build process to VM Options to -Xmx512m . Or any memory allocation in correspondent to your PC

Step 5 : Revalidate/Restart Android Studio.

METHOD 3 :

Go to your Android Studio Folder Where it is installed. There is File stduio.exe and studio64.exe with file type of VMOPTIONS , open it in notepad you will see Something like this:

-Xms512m
-Xmx1280m
-XX:MaxPermSize=350m
-XX:ReservedCodeCacheSize=225m
-XX:+UseConcMarkSweepGC
-XX:SoftRefLRUPolicyMSPerMB=50
-ea
-Djna.nosys=true
-Djna.boot.library.path=

-Djna.debug_load=true
-Djna.debug_load.jna=true
-Dsun.io.useCanonCaches=false
-Djava.net.preferIPv4Stack=true
-Didea.paths.selector=AndroidStudio1.3
-Didea.platform.prefix=AndroidStudio

Then change two values to suite you memory as below

-Xms512m
-Xmx1280m

Answer 2

My current jvmargs were set to

org.gradle.jvmargs=-Xmx4096m

I had to update gradle to 4.10.1 to get rid of this error. Modify your gradle/wrapper/gradle-wrapper.properties file as below

distributionUrl=https\://services.gradle.org/distributions/gradle-4.10.1-all.zip

Answer 3

Just add org.gradle.jvmargs=-Xmx4608m in gradle.properties file.
