Android Studio Google Jar File Causing Gc Overhead Limit Exceeded Error

Android Studio Google JAR file causing GC overhead limit exceeded error

I think there's a separate way to raise the heap limit of the dexing operation. Add this to your android closure in your build.gradle file:

dexOptions {
    javaMaxHeapSize "4g"
}

and see if that helps.

Build failed Caused by: java.lang.OutOfMemoryError: GC overhead limit exceeded

I finally found a solution which is more easier than every other test / trick :-)
I removed the row "org.gradle.jvmargs=" from the gradle.properties in the project folder , but what did the magic was to remove it also from the file (under Windows)
C:\Users[YOUR_USERNAME].gradle\gradle.properties

and everything start working as expect and faster than before :-)

java.lang.OutOfMemoryError: GC overhead limit exceeded on Android 1.4

Add this to your android closure(build gradle):

 dexOptions {
        javaMaxHeapSize "4g"
 }

This will solve your problem. Still, if you face problem see the following link

GC overhead limit exceeded error

instant run java.lang.OutOfMemoryError: GC overhead limit exceeded

Add this to your gradle.properties file.

# The Gradle daemon aims to improve the startup and execution time of Gradle.
# When set to true the Gradle daemon is to run the build.
org.gradle.daemon=true

# Specifies the JVM arguments used for the daemon process.
# The setting is particularly useful for tweaking memory settings.
# Default value: -Xmx10248m -XX:MaxPermSize=256m
org.gradle.jvmargs=-Xmx2048m -XX:MaxPermSize=512m -XX:+HeapDumpOnOutOfMemoryError -Dfile.encoding=UTF-8

# When configured, Gradle will run in incubating parallel mode.
# This option should only be used with decoupled projects. More details, visit

org.gradle.parallel=true

# Enables new incubating mode that makes Gradle selective when configuring projects.

And on my build.gradle :

....
     dexOptions
         {
               incremental false
               javaMaxHeapSize "2048M" 
               preDexLibraries = false
         }//end dexOptions

....

GC overhead limit exceeded when building android source

Seems like a bug in Android makefiles - 3500 megabytes is really not enough to build some Java packages inside Android. It's hardcoded value, you can find it in build/core/config.mk. For now you can simply increase it locally (however it's weird that it isn't placed in some environment variable).

I've increased it to 5500 megabytes and it works like a charm.

java.lang.OutOfMemoryError: GC overhead limit exceeded facing this error while executing android project

Try adding this to your build file.

dexOptions {
        javaMaxHeapSize "4g"
}
