OutOfMemoryError: GC overhead limit exceeded after Updating gradle plugin in android studio 3.0

Question

I am having problem with gradle after updating my project to com.android.tools.build:gradle:3.0.1. It was previously working with com.android.tools.build:gradle:2.1.3. I have already tweak my memory setting which is located in gradle.properties.

org.gradle.daemon=true
org.gradle.jvmargs=-Xmx5120m -XX:MaxPermSize=3230m-XX:+HeapDumpOnOutOfMemoryError -Dfile.encoding=UTF-8
org.gradle.parallel=true
org.gradle.configureondemand=true

But still getting the following error

Answer 1

you can try this.

 android {
            compileSdkVersion 25
            buildToolsVersion '25.0.1'

    defaultConfig {
            applicationId "yourpackage"
            minSdkVersion 10
            targetSdkVersion 25
            versionCode 1
            versionName "1.0"
            multiDexEnabled true
        }
    dexOptions {
            javaMaxHeapSize "4g"
        }
    }

Answer 2

Add below lines in gradle.properties file

org.gradle.daemon=true

org.gradle.configureondemand=true

org.gradle.jvmargs=-Xmx4g -XX:MaxPermSize=2048m -XX:+HeapDumpOnOutOfMemoryError -Dfile.encoding=UTF-8
