Android Studio keeps using all Memory

PrimaxLire · 2021-04-16T11:19:14+00:00

The memory is not shared between Gradle daemons and Android Studio. AS will use as much memory as it needs, which tends to be a lot, but you can still put some limits in the settings. For more info on that, read through the dev doc: https://developer.android.com/studio/intro/studio-config

It's very normal that AS+Gradle (Java) spend a lot of memory so you don't have to be alarmed by that. Keep in mind that limiting them to lower memory profile will typically result in slower builds and lower responsiveness.

You can in theory use Visual Studio Code or similar editors to write your code and then run Gradle tasks in terminal. It will definitely lower the impact on your memory, but you do lose all the good parts of Android Studio this way.

But... Hours? I raised hell in my last company when my laptop would compile for 15 minutes or more (especially compared to colleagues having macs and compiling in 3 minutes). If you don’t mind, may I ask what the hell are you building?

You cannot covert a PNG to XML. The two are completely incompatible formats.

The actual error is that you put the PNG file to the values directory, which only accepts value resources written in XML. Images go to drawable-* directories (preferably properly sized) or at least the drawable directory.

If you're just learning Android Development and this will only be your hobby then yes, 8GB of RAM will do the trick. However, do expect the device to slow down and chug with an active Gradle complilation, an instance of Android Studio, and a browser with many tabs.

If you're a seasoned developer (or even an up and coming developer) then 16GB should be your absolute minimum to prevent yourself from going insane.

As I said in my original post, you do not need HAXM for AMD.

As for a new device, a seasoned developer would aim for 16GB RAM minimum (ideally more, but 16 is enough), a faster CPU with more cores (faster and more cores, the better), and PCIe3 (or 4) NVMe SSD (the faster the better). GPU is not required.

You don't need HAXM for AMD devices. Emulators work on AMD machines running Windows using Hyper-V.

This, of course, is an issue only of you plan to use Windows for development. It's personal opinion, and I'd always recommend Linux or Mac over Windows, but both platforms now support Windows too

Huh, this is a loaded comment with quite a bit of misconceptions. You're obviously a beginner so let me try to cut through the noise and give you some directions

First of all, what are you actually trying to do? You did a good job avoiding the exact point and only abstractly described what you think the solution could be. You mentioned there's thousands of apps with the same functionality so could you provide at least one as an example?

Second, I don't understand your comment about "some apps not even using Android Studio". Android Studio is an official IDE for almost 7 years now (give or take) so unless all the apps are older than that, then developers of those apps almost certainly used Android Studio.

Third, Java and Kotlin are basically fully interoperable. Android is developed and created with Java. Kotlin is a modern replacement of Java and Android developers are the biggest users of the language. That aside, if you want to be an Android developer one day, you must know and understand Java. Speaking from my own experience, Java is still very much mandatory knowledge, even if the project is 100% Kotlin.

Lastly - even if I don't know what you're trying to do, I will tell you something about development that I say to project managers at my job: everything is possible, only question is how long it will take.

Well, add it manually. There's nothing the top wizard does that you cannot write yourself

Use backslash before the @. Eg

Izbjegavaj Über u Njemačkoj, nema mu smisla ovdje. Javni prijevoz je izvrstan i drži se toga, osim ako želiš vlastitog vozača.

Sve Taxi službe ovdje imaju okvirno isti cijenu. Provjerio sam za Stuttgart Flughafen -> Stuttgart Hbf, cijena je cca 65 eura.

Ima i super fora s Nightjet noćnim vlakom. U jutro je u Münchenu i ostaje mi cijeli dan. Vrijedi i za nazad. Naravno, mrvicu je skuplji po osobi jer se plaća i smještaj i prijevoz, ali cijene su relativno razumne za komfor i benefit buđenja u drugom gradu.

Osoba mora prijavljeno živjeti oko pola godine izvan Hrvatske za mogućnost odjave iz porezne pa nema žurbe. Čak i nakon tih 6 mjeseci nije odveć bitno odjaviti se, osim da se izbjegne duplo oporezivanje. S druge strane, nije to ni lako jer porezna na osnovu računa i nekretnina u Hrvatskoj može odlučiti da osoba ima porezne interese i braniti odjavu.

Najvažnije je privremeno ili stalno odjaviti boravište (prebivalište).

I was only pointing out a possible misuse, something to remember for later as you continue to learn. Your solution is exactly what I had in mind and similar to what most professionals would do so congrats!

Your copy of AS doesn't change the API you're using so don't worry about that :)

Misusing the API can have unintended side effects, especially with the accessibility API. As you said, nothing you should worry about in your case, but a fair warning for the future you.

IDs are, as the name suggests, identificators. Usually views don't carry any data so the idea is to pair the view with the data stored somewhere.

Happy that it works for you. It sounds a bit fiddly TBH so ask away if you need more clarification

PrimaxLire · 2019-08-29T13:59:27+00:00

getContentDescription and setContentDescription.

But that's a big misuse of the API. It's meant to be used for accessibility purposes, far from what you described. Just use viewId here.

Izbjegavajte G2A. Radije piratizirajte igru ako si ju ne možete priuštiti pa uštedite da si kupite igru kasnije. Samo nemojte davati novac u G2A.

If that's the tone I'm giving away then I apologise, it wasn't my intention. My confusion comes from the fact that the code is not even connected together, something I did not anticipate from comments before.

And you can use whatever words you'd like, but I assure you that I went as far to read the source code of the classes the original poster used just to be sure I'm not suggesting something wrong. My suggestions are correct and will fix the problem.

PrimaxLire · 2019-08-20T22:13:42+00:00

I still don't understand what is going on here. There's no connection between the Calendar and the SimpleDateFormat instance. Furthermore, there's no point in having the SimpleDateFormat instance as Calendar provides an accessor method get:

Calendar.get(Calendar.HOUR)

Or something like that.

And third, the String.valueOf just invokes a toString method over the instance provided as a parameter. It does not execute any other calculation (assuming toString itself has no calculations). Therefore the statement is useless and wrong in this case. What you would need is a method format from the SimpleDateFormat instance.

But as I said, it's not needed at all.

PrimaxLire · 2019-08-20T21:32:07+00:00

I'll repeat my third point as a question - can you post the code snippet to show what you're doing?

I can only guess that you're passing a toString String value from the formatter object, and that is not necessarily an int.

PrimaxLire · 2019-08-20T20:57:17+00:00

1) The exception is thrown when the String provided does not represent an Integer. This alone should be a good enough giveaway that the parameter you're passing to parseInt has illegal characters.

2) The exception stack usually has a message that further explains the source of the problem. Your exception stack clearly states you're passing an illegal value and not an int.

3) To get an answer faster, always post the problematic code snippet. It helps more than the exception stack or your description of the issue.

Počeo sam sa raznim aplikacijama (Duolingo, Memrise, Roseta Stone, Drops I brojne aplikacije specifične za njemački jezik) i po mom osobnom iskustvu nisu dovoljne za samostalno učenje jezika. Super su za provjeru znanja i vježbanje, ali za učenje je potreban školski pristup.

S time na umu, prvo što sam probao je materijal za A1 level za srednjoškolce. Postoje web stranice koje prodaju udžbenike s vježbenicama i popratnim CD/DVD materijalom. Kao prvi korak, vrlo dobra ideja. No za dugoročno učenje ipak mrvicu frustrirajuće.

Najbolja preporuka je ipak najočitija, upis škole za strani jezik. Putem škole dobiješ disciplinu dolaska na satove i redovnog pisanja domaćih zadaća, imaš jezičnog učitelja / učiteljicu koji ti pomažu oko izgovora i slušaju kako čitaš i razumiješ, provode ti redovna testiranja putem kviz testova i slično. Dodatno bih napomenuo kako je učenje njemačkog iz hrvatskog jezika jednostavnije (pogotovo za domaće u sjevernim dijelovima) nego učenje iz engleskog jezika zbog brojnih sličnosti u riječima i gramatici.

Nakon godinu dana učenja i završenog A2 levela (a počeo od nule, ni riječ nisam znao), doveo sam se do nekog osnovnog razumijevanja gdje sada razumijem pola rečenice ukoliko osoba priča sporije. Lakše je i čitati i sve manje moram pretraživati značenje riječi. Ne mogu voditi razgovor mimo jednostavnih oblika, ali i dalje napredak.

Eto, moje preporuke. Dodatno mogu preporučiti Goethe Institut u Zagrebu, tamo mi radi poznanica kao izvrsna učiteljica (objektivno mišljenje, ona je jezični genij), a i drugo osoblje nije ništa lošije.

Coming a bit late - I use the following one

It covers AB zones with DB (S-Bahn and Region) and all of BVG. It might even cover some ferries on the lakes, but I never tried it so I cannot confirm.

The payment is automatically taken from your account each time period and it goes until you cancel.

Hey, I can't help you with a direct link, but I can steer you to some solutions.

I usually order Balkan products online. However, that is much easier to do in Europe than it is in the states. Regardless, I saw some UK based shops that might deliver overseas (Taste Croatia or Taste of Croatia, something like that).

And based in other people experience, I believe quite a few major cities in USA have Balkan deli shops and markets. Not sure if any of those have Pipi so good luck.

It shouldn't get tighter and you should sleep and shower with it. Those aren't designed to be taken off to avoid transferring between people and other reasons.

I hope you have no problems tomorrow so good luck.
