Out of memory issue after updating buildToolsVersion '23.0.1' in Android studio

I am getting out of memory issue very often after updating buildToolsVersion '22.0.1' to buildToolsVersion '23.0.1' I am really confused and don't know how to solve this issue, since this error showing only with buildTools version 23.0.1. Whereas it is working fine when I change it to 22.0.1. Please help me. I am posting the error which I am getting as follows,

Uncaught translation error: java.util.concurrent.ExecutionException: java.lang.OutOfMemoryError: Java heap space
Uncaught translation error: java.util.concurrent.ExecutionException: java.lang.OutOfMemoryError: Java heap space

build.gradle

buildToolsVersion '23.0.1'


defaultConfig {
applicationId "com.example.app"
minSdkVersion 14

// Enabling multidex support.

}
buildTypes {

minifyEnabled false
proguardFiles getDefaultProguardFile('proguard-android.txt'), 'proguard-rules.pro'
}
}
}

Add this to your android closure in your build.gradle file:

dexOptions {
javaMaxHeapSize "4g"
}

Android Studio Google JAR file causing GC overhead limit exceeded error

I solved this problem

  1. go to "System"
  2. Environmental Setting Adwanced
  3. Edit _JAVA_OPTIONS values from "-Xms1024m" to "-Xms2048m"
    (if not Exist _JAVA_OPTIONS than create it click on New Button)
  4. ok & save Restart

I think it will be helpfull for you also. if it usefull upvote this answer.

In addition to above procedure, there is another option to set jvm arguments.

org.gradle.jvmargs="-Xms2g -Xmx4g" in gradle.properties .

The setting is for tweaking memory. Xms: Starting memory Xmx: Max memory

Actually for me worked a more complex solution, which combine all from above, plus enabling multidex in the build.gradle file for the module.

A. Add this line in the defaultConfig section to enable multiDex

// Enabling multidex support.
multiDexEnabled true

B. Than set the dexOptions, like this:

dexOptions {
incremental true
javaMaxHeapSize "4G"
}

C. After changing to multidex and setting the heap to 4g, an overflow error may occur which lead me to uncomment and modify the jvmargs line from gradle.properties file of the project, like:

org.gradle.jvmargs=-Xmx2048m -XX:MaxPermSize=512m -XX:+HeapDumpOnOutOfMemoryError -Dfile.encoding=UTF-8

The values may differ depending on your machine. You can also use double values.

The accepted answer works but I was confused for a bit about where to put the dexOptions in my build.gradle. We actually put it under the android section.

Here is example snippet:

android {


dexOptions {
javaMaxHeapSize "4g"
}


......
}

dexOptions {
javaMaxHeapSize "4g"
}

I was facing the same issue by adding this in build.gradle file (module level) solved my problem

use this in your app level build.gradle:

android {
dexOptions {
javaMaxHeapSize "4g"
}
}
