I have the same problem which triggered after i changed vmoptions file.This worked for me

Go to C:\Users\ username \.androidStudio\

2.Find the studio.exe.vmoptions (or studio64.exe.vmoptions) and simply type -Xmx4g (or -Xmx2g if you want to allocate 2GB RAM) Here 4g is for allocating 4GB RAM to android studio.

Open file located at /Applications/Android\ Studio.app/Contents/bin/studio.vmoptions Change the content to

-Xms128m -Xmx4096m -XX:MaxPermSize=1024m -XX:ReservedCodeCacheSize=200m -XX:+UseCompressedOops

Xmx specifies the maximum memory allocation pool for a Java Virtual Machine (JVM), while Xms specifies the initial memory allocation pool. Your JVM will be started with Xms amount of memory and will be able to use a maximum of Xmx amount of memory.

Save the studio.vmoptions file and restart Android Studio.

You can have multiple JDK versions installed on your computer, but you need your JAVA_HOME variable to point to the installation of JDK v1.8 for Android Studio to work: JAVA_HOME=C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.8.0_91 Also, download the correct 64-bit version of JDK v1.8 for your current operating system. – Dungeon_master Jun 23 '16 at 07:22
