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

I'm not using Android Studio, but had same problem. I had to update the latest java jdk and set the JAVA_HOME to that jdk.

Answer 2

1. Open File-> Settings
2. Choose Gradle
3. Mark "Use local grandle distribution" and select the path of grandle home for ex: C:/Users/high_hopes/.gradle/wrapper/dists/gradle-2.1-all/27drb4udbjf4k88eh2ffdc0n55/gradle-2.1.1 then choose service directory path C:/Users/high_hopes/.gradle
4. Apply all changes
5. Open File-> invalidate caches/ restart ...
6. Select Just Restart

Answer 3

For those who are upgrading to v1.0 of Android Studio and see the error Gradle DSL method not found: 'runProguard', If you are using version 0.14.0 or higher of the gradle plugin, you should replace "runProguard" with "minifyEnabled" in your build.gradle files. i.e.

buildTypes {
    release {
        minifyEnabled false
        proguardFiles getDefaultProguardFile('proguard-android.txt'), 'proguard-rules.txt'
    }
}

Answer 4

I had the same error. I deleted the android repository from android sdk manager and reinstalled it. It worked.

Answer 5

All you have to do is remove .gradle from user, paste, and verify update in Android Studio and it will work perfectly!

Answer 6

Today I ran into the same error, however, i was using Android Studio 1.0.2. What i did tot fix the problem was that i started a project with minimum SDK 4.4 (API 19) so when i checked the version i noticed that at File->ProjectStructure->app i found Android 5 as a compile SDK Version. I changed that back to 4.4.
