Android Gradle Could not reserve enough space for object heap
I've installed Android Studio 1.1.0. I haven't done anything yet like start new Android application or import anything. Somehow it is trying to build something and it throws sync error.
Error:Unable to start the daemon process. This problem might be caused by incorrect configuration of the daemon. For example, an unrecognized jvm option is used. Please refer to the user guide chapter on the daemon at http://gradle.org/docs/2.2.1/userguide/gradle_daemon.html
Please read the following process output to find out more:
Error occurred during initialization of VM Could not reserve enough space for object heap Could not create the Java virtual machine.
I've already checked at gradle.org/.../gradle_daemon.html but couldn't find anything that helps me to solve the problem.
It isn't a memory problem because I've 8GB of physical memory and no other program running.
For Android Studio 1.3 : (Method 1)
Step 1 : Open gradle.properties file in your Android Studio project.
Step 2 : Add this line at the end of the file
org.gradle.jvmargs=-XX\:MaxHeapSize\=256m -Xmx256m
Above methods seems to work but if in case it won't then do this (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 1024 and Additional build process to VM Options to -Xmx512m.
Step 5 : Close or Restart Android Studio.
in gradle.properties, you can even delete
org.gradle.jvmargs=-Xmx1536m
such lines or comment them out. Let android studio decide for it. When I ran into this same problem, none of above solutions worked for me. Commenting out this line in gradle.properties helped in solving that error.
I tried several solutions, nothing seemed to work. Setting my system JDK to match Android Studio's solved the problem.
Ensure your system java
java -version
Is the same as Androids
File > Project Structure > JDK Location
Add the following line in MyApplicationDir\gradle.properties
org.gradle.jvmargs=-Xmx1024m
My fix using Android Studio 3.0.0 on Windows 10 is to remove entirely any jvm args from the gradle.properties file.
I am using the Android gradle wrapper 3.0.1 with gradle version 4.1. No gradlew commands were working, but a warning says that it's trying to ignore any jvm memory args as they were removed in 8 (which I assume is Java 8).
I ran into the same issue, here's my post:
Android Studio - Gradle build failing - Java Heap Space
exec summary: Windows looks for the gradle.properties file here:
C:\Users\.gradle\gradle.properties
So create that file, and add a line like this:
org.gradle.jvmargs=-XX\:MaxHeapSize\=256m -Xmx256m
as per @Faiz Siddiqui post
Solution for Android Studio 2.3.3 on MacOS 10.12.6
Start Android Studios with more heap memory:
export JAVA_OPTS="-Xms6144m -Xmx6144m -XX:NewSize=256m -XX:MaxNewSize=356m -XX:PermSize=256m -XX:MaxPermSize=356m"
open -a /Applications/Android\ Studio.app
