Android Studio : Gradle build takes more RAM?

Android Studio use gradle to make apks. While doing this, it uses lots of RAM. And this could be a big problem for those who have low configuration pc or laptop.

Let’s see a small solution that might help you. We are going to edit one file which tells gradle that how much ram it should use.

1. Open Android project (or goto project directory in file manager)
2. Open gradle.properties file.
3. Edit this property: org.gradle.jvmargs
4. “org.gradle.jvmargs=-Xmx1536m” ==> 1536 is number of ram that should be used by gradle.
5. Reduce this number to your need. For example I use “org.gradle.jvmargs=-Xmx1024m”
6. This would definitely reduce Ram(memory) usage by Android Studio.

Let me know in comments if this works for you. Have a good day.
