I'm trying to set the following option:

-Djava.util.Arrays.useLegacyMergeSort=true

with gradle build for android. This is to circumvent this issue

My question is how do I add this option in 'Android Studio'? I tried to add it in the Compiler->VM options, but to no avail.

I also tried setting it in the command line (JAVA_OPTS) and building with the gradle command, but that didn't work either.

I'm using Java 1.8 and Gradle 2.2.1

there's a comment in the android source: `// Android-changed: LegacyMergeSort is no longer supported` in Arrays.java – KnIfER May 28 '19 at 07:16
