Out of memory error: Java heap memory on Android Studio

Question

How do I fix java.lang.OutOfMemoryError: Java heap space when compiling my Android project?

I get this after I upgraded to version 1 of Android Studio.

Answer 1

None of the answers worked for me but finally I found something that worked in my case:

Automatically managing paging files size

In windows:

1. Under "Advanced System Settings"
2. Advanced Tab
3. Performance section, settings...
4. Advanced Tab
5. Virtual memory... Change...
6. Select Automatically manage paging files size for all drives

I don't remember why I had this unchecked but this was causing trouble in my gradle builds (with flutter).
