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         


        

Answer 1

You can try any one of the following

1) change the gradle.properties file and change the heap size as per your requirement.

If org.gradle.jvmargs=-Xmx2048M is not sufficient then change to 4096 as given

org.gradle.jvmargs=-Xmx4096M

2)"Edit Custom VM Options" from the Help menu.

It will open studio.vmoptions / studio64.exe.vmoptions file

Change the content to

-Xms128m

-Xmx4096m

-XX:MaxPermSize=1024m

-XX:ReservedCodeCacheSize=200m

-XX:+UseCompressedOops

Save the the file and restart Android Studio.
