java.lang.outofMemoryError when building Android application

[Jeff Lindborg]

Just trying to build a simple test application for Android and iOS in a Forms project - added dependencies as documented but when building the Android project it throws this error - iOS looks to compile and run ok.

Error java.lang.OutOfMemoryError. Consider increasing the value of $(JavaMaximumHeapSize). Java ran out of memory while executing 'java.exe -jar C:\Users\lindb_000\AppData\Local\Android\android-sdk\build-tools\23.0.1\\lib\dx.jar --no-strict --dex --output=obj\Release\android\bin obj\Release\android\bin\classes "C:\Program Files (x86)\Reference Assemblies\Microsoft\Framework\MonoAndroid\v6.0\mono.android.jar" obj\Release\__library_projects__\FormsViewGroup\library_project_imports\formsviewgroup.jar obj\Release\__library_projects__\Syncfusion.SfChart.Android\library_project_imports\bin\SfChart.Android.jar C:\Users\lindb_000\AppData\Local\Xamarin\Xamarin.Android.Support.Animated.Vector.Drawable\23.3.0.0\embedded\classes.jar C:\Users\lindb_000\AppData\Local\Xamarin\Xamarin.Android.Support.Design\23.3.0.0\embedded\classes.jar C:\Users\lindb_000\AppData\Local\Xamarin\Xamarin.Android.Support.v4\23.3.0.0\embedded\classes.jar C:\Users\lindb_000\AppData\Local\Xamarin\Xamarin.Android.Support.v4\23.3.0.0\embedded\libs\internal_impl-23.3.0.jar C:\Users\lindb_000\AppData\Local\Xamarin\Xamarin.Android.Support.v7.AppCompat\23.3.0.0\embedded\classes.jar C:\Users\lindb_000\AppData\Local\Xamarin\Xamarin.Android.Support.v7.CardView\23.3.0.0\embedded\classes.jar C:\Users\lindb_000\AppData\Local\Xamarin\Xamarin.Android.Support.v7.MediaRouter\23.3.0.0\embedded\classes.jar C:\Users\lindb_000\AppData\Local\Xamarin\Xamarin.Android.Support.v7.MediaRouter\23.3.0.0\embedded\libs\internal_impl-23.3.0.jar C:\Users\lindb_000\AppData\Local\Xamarin\Xamarin.Android.Support.v7.RecyclerView\23.3.0.0\embedded\classes.jar C:\Users\lindb_000\AppData\Local\Xamarin\Xamarin.Android.Support.Vector.Drawable\23.3.0.0\embedded\classes.jar' StickBuddy.Droid

Hi Jeff,

Thanks for contacting Syncfusion support.

The “java.lang.OutOfMemoryError” error is a Xamarin issue which occurs when the app size exceeds some limit. You can refer to the following bug report.

https://bugzilla.xamarin.com/show_bug.cgi?id=18327  

Solution:

Right click the Android project and select Properties > Android Options > Advanced

Set the Java Heap size as 1G.

Thanks,
Saravana Pandian M.

Please update whether you are facing this issue when swiping the rotator control's item continuously or deploying the sample with the control (In which scenario you faced this issue). It will help to analyze further and provide an appropriate solution.
