GC overhead limit exceeded

[Iliya]

Just started getting this error since I upgraded to Android Studio 1.4. Haven't changed any of the settings which is what seems strange. Anyone else here run into similar issues and found a workaround?

UNEXPECTED TOP-LEVEL ERROR:

java.lang.OutOfMemoryError: GC overhead limit exceeded

This happens during the dexArm7Debug step.

BTW using the experimental gradle plugin 0.2.0 for NDK support.

Nevermind, managed to fix this myself by adding this to my build.gradle file

model {

    android {

        ...

dexOptions.with {

            incremental = true

            javaMaxHeapSize = "4g"

        }

    }

    ...

}
