Eclipse

The Android project has a large size and it causes memory issues while compiling this project. To avoid such memory issues, increase memory size. To increase the memory size, edit “eclipse.ini” file. This file is located at following location:

Java Code:

/Applications/eclipse/Eclipse.app/Contents/MacOS/eclipse.ini

Default memory parameters are as shown below.

Java Code:

-Xms40m 
-Xmx256m 
-XX:MaxPermSize=256m

Following settings are recommended for Android development.

Java Code:

-Xms128m 
-Xmx512m 
-XX:MaxPermSize=256m

The above settings set minimum memory size to 128 MB. The maximum size set in the above code is 512 MB.

After setting these memory parameters, restart Eclipse.
