Android Exception "java.lang.OutOfMemoryError thrown"
What to do if Android project fails to build with the following error:
COMPILETODALVIK : UNEXPECTED TOP-LEVEL error :
Exception in thread "main"
Exception: java.lang.OutOfMemoryError thrown from the UncaughtExceptionHandler in thread "main"
After the release of Xamarin.Android.Support libraries version 23.0.1 from Xamarin, the above exception is thrown when compiling projects with a number of references to third-party assemblies. To remedy this you need to increase the maximum java heap size.
In Visual Studio:
- Right-click the .Droid project and select "Properties"
- Select "Android Options"
- Select "Advanced" tab
- Enter a value for "Java Max Heap Size" e.g.
1G
In Xamarin Studio:
- Right-click the .Droid project and select "Options"
- Select "Android Build" in "Build" node
- Select "Advanced" tab
