Gradle 'FunFacts' project refresh failed

Not really helped :( is there any other ways?

This is the only way to solve this problem.

Could you please check gradle.properties in your project folder and see if the memory tweak is in that file also?

If it is and you are still having the problem, could you provide a screenshot of how much memory is used by your PC when you have Android Studio open.

where can I find or type gradle.properties ?

It is found in the

C:\Users\YourName\AndroidStudioProjects\ProjectName

directory by default (Replace YourName and ProjectName with the corresponding values).

I opened that file with notepad: http://gyazo.com/ba5a422394badd0220c4502dcc26d931 Memory usage: http://gyazo.com/7468efb45e83152949d91c35f06a035b

Your PC does have a very high usage and is close to your 4gb maximum of RAM.

The last thing I would try is to add this value into your gradle.properties

-Xmx3072m -XX:MaxPermSize=524m

then go to File >> Invalidate caches & restart >> Invalidate and Restart.

If even after that you have the same issue, I would try this again after closing down as many memory-hogging processes as possible and seeing if you can then start up the Virtual Machine. If you can after closing down multiple processes, you can either do this every time you want to start the VM or you can upgrade your PC (Note that this would probably mean getting a new computer because a 32-bit system can only take a maximum of 4gb of RAM).

If you still get the error even after closing down memory-hogging processes then please tell me what your RAM level is when you have Android Studio open but other processes ended.

It's not quite the news I wanted to give you but, sadly, Android Studio is extremely resource hogging and so are other IDE's like Eclipse.

Best of luck!

Same when memory eating processes are closed... screen of usage: http://gyazo.com/767ac80e9077fcaa40fced006f20174f

Android Studio should definitely run at that level - It only needs 2GB RAM minimum.

Could you try closing Android Studio and then deleting your .gradle folder? It's located at C:\Users\YourName. After that, open up Android Studio again and it will re-create the folder.

Let me know how it goes!

Didn't work. I think I should buy new notebook ? Sokething like that would work Asus X552CL GAMER / 15.6" / Intel® Core™ i3-3217u / 4GB / 750GB / GeForce® GT™710M ?

I don't think that would make any difference as the system would also be 4GB.

I am still puzzled as to why Android Studio is not working on your system even though it has more than 2GB RAM available. I would like to try one last thing which is to change the Global Java Property. This isn't recommended because it means all Java applications will initiate with 524mb even if they use less but, I would still like to see if this makes any difference.

To change this setting it is a little complicated. I'll try my best to make it easy to follow along.

Open up your System Properties (The bit you had open before that shows your CPU/RAM values) >> On the left sidebar, click Advanced System Settings >> Click Environment Variables >> Under System Variables, press New >> Use the values below:

// Variable name:
_JAVA_OPTIONS
// Variable value:
-Xmx524M

then, press OK and try again.

If this makes no difference, go ahead and delete the variable because it can make for inefficiencies for some Java Applications.

Let me know how it goes!

Hey Harry, it works after I added that variable! Thanks a lot:) about new pc/notebook - I bought my oldie in 2007 I guess, so I think it had a long time and should retire... I don't think it would be the same on a new computer with 4GB RAM ? :) Thanks for Your help once more

Woohoo! Glad you can get Android Studio with this change! It's not the most beneficial but at least you can work with it!

It may work better with a new computer but, I would recommend you get a computer with a higher amount of RAM than your current one if you are considering getting a new system (It is worth it in the long run!)
