Errors when running my code in Android Studio

Question

I'm facing many errors when i try to run my code in Android studio.

Errors like "To run dex in process, the Gradle daemon needs a larger heap. It currently has approximately 247 MB. For faster builds, increase the maximum heap size for the Gradle daemon to more than 2048 MB".

Other errors are like "Error:Picked up _JAVA_OPTIONS: -Xmx256M" and "Error:Uncaught translation error: java.util.concurrent.ExecutionException: java.lang.OutOfMemoryError: GC overhead limit exceeded"

May i know what is wrong with my project? Can somebody please help me :(

This is the message from my android studio message tab.

To run dex in process, the Gradle daemon needs a larger heap.
It currently has approximately 247 MB.
For faster builds, increase the maximum heap size for the Gradle daemon to more than 2048 MB.
To do this set org.gradle.jvmargs=-Xmx2048M in the project gradle.properties.
For more information see https://docs.gradle.org/current/userguide/build_environment.html

In `gradle.properties` file just comment this line `#org.gradle.jvmargs=-Xmx1536m` — Piyush, Feb 02 '17 at 10:25

This is probably because the amount of the memory is not set in gradle.properties in your project. Go to your root project dir, find this file and add this line :

org.gradle.jvmargs=-Xmx4536m

This is me max amount i think. Usually it is set to something like 1536.

It doesn't work for me. I tried, but the problem is still the same. – Jane Feb 01 '17 at 14:21
Are you sure you are editing the right file ? it should have at the first line of the file something like "# Project-wide Gradle settings." . Also make sure to do clean project first. – Adrian Ivasku Feb 01 '17 at 14:34

open android studio, go to file/other settings/default settings...

after that search for "heap" you can find max heap size and change it.

if above solution not worked try this:

another solution could be editing build.gradle(module) file and add this line:

android {
....

dexOptions {
    javaMaxHeapSize "2g"
}

...

}

I found it, and change the heap size to 2000. But it still doesn't work. – Jane Feb 01 '17 at 14:30
