Android build fails with Java heap space error

Seepia · January 17, 2017, 3:38pm

Project is heavy with images. IOS build is around 300 MB size. Problem with Android build happens with both Windows and Mac devices.

Here is logs for the fail. I can add Defold team member to project if needed for testing.

I use latest Defold build.

I think you should be able to increase the heap size of the editor by modifying Defold.ini (located inside Defold.app on Mac and in the application folder on Windows). -Xmx is the value you’re looking for I think.

Seepia · January 17, 2017, 4:38pm

@britzl Thanks. It seems that I managed to build an Android apk by increasing the heap size. Scary 400MB apk, but it works.

britzl · January 17, 2017, 4:39pm

You should look into texture profiles and use texture compression to reduce the APK size.

Seepia · January 17, 2017, 4:40pm

We tried to do that earlier, but build failed with that also. Maybe we try again now with bigger heap size.

Seepia · January 18, 2017, 8:48am

With mac I am able to bring heap size to 9600M that was enough to use webp compression for images. I or Defold is doing something wrong with it, because I ended up with 1,3GB apk with that option. When I have little more time, I will test more with it.

With Windows machine after growing the heap size to 2400M, Defold did not open anymore. That might be device dependant issue. I will try that when I am back home with my own device.

Seepia · November 20, 2017, 11:46am

I am back at the same problem with Editor 2. Editor 2 seems to have different configuration file and format than Editor 1. Is there a way to increase heap size for Editor 2?

britzl · November 20, 2017, 11:53am

Not sure. @mats.gisselson, @Ragnar_Dahlen, @Erik_Angelin?

Erik_Angelin · November 23, 2017, 10:22am

Well, I guess you could experiment with jvm flags: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/6452765/how-to-increase-heap-size-of-jvm
The flags should go in the config file under vmargs. Note however that we overwrite config when updating, so you will have to redo your changes.

Erik_Angelin · November 23, 2017, 10:26am

Also, if you just want to build (not bundle) there is a preference for enabling/disabling texture compression, that will reduce memory usage.

Seepia · November 23, 2017, 10:31am

Thanks. I will experiment jvm flags when I have good spare time for it. I have now been using Editor 1 to make the build succesfully.
