OutOfMemoryError: GC overhead limit exceeded

[Martin Liersch]

Hey everyone,

I am having a big issue with my biggest project. I added Google Drive to it and now I get

java.lang.OutOfMemoryError: GC overhead limit exceeded

on the dexDebug task.

For Drive I have added these dependencies:

    compile 'com.google.android.gms:play-services:3.2.65'
    compile 'com.google.api-client:google-api-client:1.17.0-rc'
    compile 'com.android.support:support-v4:18.+'
    compile 'com.google.api-client:google-api-client-android:1.17.0-rc'
    compile 'com.google.apis:google-api-services-drive:v2-rev102-1.17.0-rc'
    compile 'com.google.api-client:google-api-client-gson:1.17.0-rc'

I have already tried providing -Xmx2G, -XX:-UseGCOverheadLimit and stuff, but it doesn't help...

Do you have any idea how I might solve this? Has my project become too big for Gradle/dx to handle?

[Avram Lyon]

Add this to your android closure:

    dexOptions {
        incremental true
        javaMaxHeapSize "4g"
    }

This solved all the GC overhead issues for my team, and we have substantially more dependencies. Previously we would see that error on almost every build.

Hi,

Can you please run the build with --stacktrace (or -s) and paste the stack.

Yes thanks.

I wasn't sure which process was OOM'ing and therefore where to go bump the allocation. The subsequent post to mine listed the solution.

[Jigar Mori]

yes bro,

Good answer,  Thanks for time saving..

[Igor Ganapolsky]

This didn't solve anything for me.

[Iliya]

Try the gradle.properties file mentioned here:

https://medium.com/@cesarmcferreira/speeding-up-gradle-builds-619c442113cb#.3hq3aeoq1

that solved my memory issues, both dex and GC Overhead

[Igor G.]

Thanks, I tried that.  Still, the issue was me trying to compile ('com.google.android.gms:play-services-basement:9.4.0') separately.  As you can imagine, there is a lot of classpath overlap between the basement lib and base lib (and other play services libs).  So I don't think there is any solution other than throwing away play-services-basement from the gradle build.

Thank you,
Igor
