android studio 0.4.2: Gradle project sync failed e

Question

After updating to 0.4.2 I get this error when opening a project: 'Gradle project sync failed. Basic functionality (e.g. editing, debugging) will not work proprerly'

The event log shows this:

Error occurred during initialization of VM
Could not reserve enough space for object heap
Error: Could not create the Java Virtual Machine.
Error: A fatal exception has occurred. Program will exit.

Version 0.4.1 was behaving very well for me.

Answer 1

Error occurred during initialization of VM
Could not reserve enough space for object heap
Error: Could not create the Java Virtual Machine.

seems fairly clear-cut: your OS can't find enough RAM to start a new Java process, which is in this case the Gradle builder. Perhaps you don't have enough RAM, or not enough swap, or you have too many other memory-hungry processes running at the same time.

Answer 2

I am facing this problem many times from last few days, the answer above works perfectly fine. I was looking for the exact reason for this problem and in my case I found slow internet or no internet on your machine(assuming you are taking project to windows from mac, that may not be required).

I've noticed while doing build it stopped fetching a URL(http://.maven.org/). I don't know why android studio doing these things again, but that seems to be the only problem in my case.

Answer 3

I found one answer on the net and it worked for me, thus here it is:

When you get the gradle project sync failed error, with error details:

Error occurred during initialization of VM Could not reserve enough space for object heap Error: Could not create the Java Virtual Machine. Error: A fatal exception has occurred. Program will exit.

Then, on Windows, please go to:

Control Panel > System > Advanced(tab) > Environment Variables > System Variables > New:

Variable name _JAVA_OPTIONS and Variable value -Xmx512M

Save it, restart AS. It might work this time, as it did for me.

Answer 4

I had this problem when I started my project and there was not enough RAM for gradle. I searched a solution for an hour including the variants given above, but then I just closed my browser and rebooted my IDE. Interesting that if you run browser or a game after successful starting IDE and project it still works properly. Hope this solution will be useful for somebody. p.s. sorry for my English knowledge (it`s from school).

Answer 5

After following Carlos steps I ended up deleting the

C:\Users\MyPath.AndroidStudioPreview Directory

Then re imported the project it seemed to fix my issue completely for the meanwhile, And speedup my AndroidStudio

Hope it helps anyone

Answer 6

After reporting the problem on the Android Studio feedback site, they found a solution for me. I am now using Gradle 1.10 and Android Studio 0.4.3.

Here is the link to the page with a description of how I fixed mine: https://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=65219

Hope this helps!
