Android Studio 2.2.3. I've been building an APK for android with my current project with success until very recently. As far as I know, nothing was changed except a data file, and my "Build APK" step mysteriously started failing with this message in the gradle console:
FAILURE: Build failed with an exception.
* What went wrong:
Execution failed for task ':VrSamples:Native:myproject:Projects:Android:packageDebug'.
> Java heap space
and in my "messages" window I see this error:
Error:Execution failed for task ':VrSamples:Native:myproject:Projects:Android:packageDebug'.
> Java heap space
mple, the following line, in the gradle.properties file, sets the maximum Java heap size to 1,024 MB:
<em>org.gradle.jvmargs=-Xmx1024m</em>
Read Gradle's configuration guide<br>Read about Java's heap size
I've tried many things:
Reset version control to previous version I know was generating APK's fine
Re-clone the entire project in a new location to rule out and intermetiate files that might be pulled in with the .gitignore, to guarantee it's a fresh build
Rebooted my computer
re-installed android studio
Run the clean step, rebuilt, manually deleted intermediate files
Added org.gradle.jvmargs=-Xmx1024m to my gradle.properties file
increased the 1024m to 4096m
manually increased the -Xmx value in both Android Studio\bin\studio.exe.vmoptions and the 64-bit equivalent
I'm puzzled as to why I'm suddenly hitting this issue now, and why I can't seem to be able to re-create the APK's I've been building without problems until recently. As far as I'm aware, I also haven't updated any libraries either.
Would appreciate any suggestions to resolve this issue, tips on how to debug this kind of thing down the road, etc.
Use this in gradle.properties
org.gradle.parallel=true
org.gradle.daemon=true
org.gradle.jvmargs=-Xmx12800M
org.gradle.configureondemand=true
Worked for me.
I noticed that when I open the gradle.properties folder in my Android Studios project, and hovered over any line, it gave a warning about "unused property". That put me on the path to do another google search for "Android Studio gradle.properties unused property" and I found this:
gradle.properties. Unused property
and this:
JVM arguments gradle cannot be set in gradle.properties file for Android Studio 2.1.1
The issue is that, at least for me, Windows+Android Studio seems to ignore the gradle.properties file in my project. You need to create one here:
C:\Users\<username>\.gradle\gradle.properties
Then, as suggested in other threads such as the one linked to by #Kevin Tan above, I was able to increase the memory by adding a line such as this:
org.gradle.jvmargs=-XX:MaxHeapSize=256m -Xmx256m
Now I no longer hit the issue
By default, Android Studio has a maximum heap size of 1280MB. If you are working on a large project, or your system has a lot of RAM, you can improve performance by increasing the maximum heap size for Android Studio processes, such as the core IDE, Gradle daemon, and Kotlin daemon.
If you use a 64-bit system that has at least 5 GB of RAM, you can also adjust the heap sizes for your project manually. To do so, follow these steps:
Click File > Settings from the menu bar (or Android Studio > Preferences on macOS).
Click Appearance & Behavior > System Settings > Memory Settings.

Error:
Error:java.lang.RuntimeException:

java.io.IOException: Could not delete path 'C:\Users\Roudy

A fix would be to clean the project or manually killing the "Java platform SE binary" process that's actually using that file. I don't want to clean project/manually delete file every other build and I can't find a permanent fix for this problem.
What I tried:
Invalidate cache/restart: temporarily fixes the problem
Clean build: temporarily fixes the problem
Deleting the file manually: temporarily fixes the problem
This issue, if I remember correctly (Not so sure), started to happen when I updated android studio to some version (3.0 maybe) I'm not exactly sure but just trying to back trace this problem.
people have faced random issues after upgrading to 3.0. Mine was that i was extending with Application instead of MultiDexApplication. I would suggest you to make a new sample application via studio 3.0 and compare the changes in the Gradle scripts files.
Also, you should :
use implementation instead of compile.
update the build tools.
for once, manually remove build, .gradle, .idea folder and file and the build folder from the app folder.
upgrade your gradle.
Try these things, It will eventually get things sorted. Let me know what resolved it, even if nothing from the above.
I can't run or execute my code. I already followed this.
It still won't work. My error message
Error:Execution failed for task ':app:packageInstantRunResourcesDebug'.
Java heap space
ties 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 guideRead about Java's heap size
I tried turning off the instant run and there's a new error
Error:Execution failed for task ':app:packageDebug'.
Java heap space
ect'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

EDIT: I found the reason why. It's because i added a code that'll unzip a 500 mb file and will transfer into the internal storage. It might be because it has a lot of files. The zipfile has 80,000+ files.
Possible reason of this error could be mismatch of JDK versions.Try to check your system Java Version with Your Studio's version.
java -version
should be similar to Android Studio File > Project Structure > JDK Location version.
Today after java update , i have this issue Execution failed for task ':app:packageInstantRunResourcesDebug', when i run "gradlew build --stacktrace" console show me that in my java path C:\Program Files\Java**jre1.8.0_121**\lib , java can`t find tools.jar, perhaps after update java on my pc for some reason deleted this file, but fortunately i have another version of java on my pc C:\Program Files\Java**jdk1.8.0**_101 and i copy-past tools.jar from this location to my jre1.8.0 . Perhaps some one help this.
I tried to follow this example : http://doc.qt.io/qtcreator/creator-mobile-app-tutorial.html
But when I try to build it, I have this error :
23:51:49: Internal Error: Unknown Android deployment JSON file
location. Error while building/deploying project accelbubble (kit:

There is not a lot of things about this on the Internet, so I came here for help.
Anyone know what to do ?
You need to select the run configuration for the project: see comments on this Qt bug report
Select the 'Project' icon on the left toolbar, choose 'Run' on that active target, and the set "Run Configuration".
My problem occured when I tried to build a library for Android.
I managed to solve it by removing corresponding records in projectname.pro.user file.
Quit QtCreator
remove the elements containing apk attribute and
install attribute. Not the attributes, but the elements containing them
run QtCreator and make sure there are no build apk and install steps in the project's build configuration
I also made sure there are no extra projectname.pro.user.* files and removed them, but I don't know if that matters.
Problem solved by installing QT on C:\Qt disk instead of D:\Program Files\Qt (my second hard drive, because the C is SSD and doesn't have much space).
I installed the android sdk and gradle on Windows 8.1.
It is too slow because the build tool takes too much time.
Can I get rid of gradle?
How else can I make it faster?
There are some thing, which could help a bit:
1) In Settings->Build->Compiler and add Command line options:
--offline --parallel
and VM options:
-Xmx2048m -XX:MaxPermSize=512m- -
2) In the file gradle.properties add line org.gradle.daemon=true
3) Give a try to Genymotion emulator.
4) Move project to SSD disk. Or flash disk - build time can drop to half.
Last option is not to use AS and Gradle at all. Switch to Eclipse (make new project, move res and src files + import all libraries you using, for example NDK is easier to set up there), but it's also not that "heavy" and up to date as AS, so probably not much helpful after all.
I have an android application that only has one jar import which is 4 mb in size (Symja https://code.google.com/p/symja/) Literally the only code in the project is creating a new textview and setting it as the content view. But I am getting the error(s):
Conversion to Dalvik format failed: Unable to execute dex: Java heap space
Unable to execute dex: Java heap space
I have another android project which is alot bigger, almost 20,000 lines of code and it runs in seconds. My eclipse.ini has the following settings:
-Dosgi.requiredJavaVersion=1.5
-XX:MaxPermSize=512m
-Xms512m
-Xmx1024m
I do not know why I cannot run this project. So any suggestions are greatly appreciated!
Thanks.
Try the following:
Right click your project. Go to Properties -> Java Build Path -> Order and Export.
Uncheck the check box against your included library. Press OK and run the project.
On doing this Eclipse will take only the classes which are needed in the code, from the jar instead of storing all the classes from the jar.
I read, that symja library needs Java version 1.6. But your Eclipse uses Java 1.5. Maybe, it's a problem.
Modify the -XmsAm and -XmxBm paremeters in eclipse.ini so that they are large enough. The default is -Xms40m -Xmx384m. Try changing them both to -Xms512m -Xmx512m and restart eclipse to see if that helps. If not, continue to increase the values and restart eclipse until either one of two things happens:
Your build completes.
Eclipse won't restart because you don't have enough memory.
eclipse.ini is located at /etc/eclipse.ini in Ubuntu (assuming you installed Eclipse from the Ubuntu repositories).
