How to increase maximum heap size for the Gradle daemon?

Question

When signin an apk, I got this message:

To run dex in process, the Gradle daemon needs a larger heap.
It currently has 1024 MB.
For faster builds, increase the m

I know you said your project doesnt have gradle.properties but you could create a global one in C:\Users\user\.gradle and add:

 org.gradle.jvmargs=-Xmx4096M

And remember to run gradle --stop to kill any previous daemons.
