Answer 1

Im using Android studio version 2.2.2 on win 10 (32 bit) and this is how i fix this issue:

1. Open your newly created project.
2. Now open gradle.properties and change the JVM argument. i.e org.gradle.jvmargs=-Xmx1024m Basically it comes with default value of -Xm1536m which somehow is not working (at least for me).
3. Then Rebuild the project and it should work.

Answer 2

In your project file\platforms\android\cordova\lib\builders\GradleBuilder.js Search for args.push and search for the line with the below description. Mine was Xmx2048m. I changed to Xmx1024m and it worked. 16MB of RAM in my pc. Change

args.push('-Dorg.gradle.jvmargs=-Xmx1024m'); 

Answer 3

Try deleting your .gradle from C:\Users\<username> directory and try again.

Answer 4

add this line instead of following line in gradle.properties file

comment this line #org.gradle.jvmargs=-Xmx1536m

add this line

org.gradle.jvmargs=-Xmx512m -XX:MaxPermSize=512m
