Question

I have problem with Android Studio. After updating AS to 2.2 it takes a long (~30 min) time to process indicating that it is \"Building Symbols...\" The project is reasonably la

Answer 1

I solved it, it was maybe caused by a large project size.

so, if Windows, go to Program Files/Android/Android studio/bin and find studio.exe.vmoptions or studio64.exe.vmoption files (choose 32bit or 64bit)

Last, change xmx option.

xmx option may setting 1248m, change it more than 4000 or 6000...(think your build machine ram size)

Building symbol need larger ram size than default setting.
