Error “java heap size” in Eclipse Android?

Question

When I\'m using the graphical layout editor after 5-10 minutes of working I get the error \"java heap size\". I tried to increase size in eclipse.ini: -Xms512m -Xmx1024m But

Answer 1

Your eclipse.ini settings will take effect only if you change following:

Run -> External Tools -> External Tool

Configurations. go to configuration that u use, under jre tab -select option

Run in same JRE in workspace.

Answer 2

You can set this on the command line before running eclipse so that eclipse has more mem: How do I set Java's min and max heap size through environment variables?

Answer 3

If sometimes you get this error and smetimes doesn't then It might happens because RAM is being used by other processes which require large memory. Close all the other Applications/processes and try to start/load the eclipse. It works.
