Android Studio has such a fat ass. Every release it, and gradle, want more memory to do the same thing. I'm hoping that the tools devs improve or review the resource usage of the gradle plugin, etc. VS Code and the flutter tooling are svelte in comparison.
- smichel17 9y agoSeriously. I've gone back to vim completely (from my previous mix of Studio and vim). Browser tabs and gradle, alone, max out my laptop's 8gb ram. If I were to throw Studio into the mix, I'd have to close Firefox!
- mdellavo 9y agoYeah I agree that has been the case but lowering memory usage has been a target of recent for Android Studio - See https://developer.android.com/studio/releases/index.html#3-1-0 https://developer.android.com/studio/releases/index.html#3-1... It's even using less memory than chrome lately.
- hazza1 9y agoUsing less memory than chrome is the very definition of faint praise.
- realharo 9y agoTo be honest, everything about Android seems like a bit of a mess to me - the APIs, the tools, plus all the things from the user's perspective.
- chimprich 9y agoThe official documentation is worse - everything seems to be a mess of contradictions and constantly changing ways of doing things, with the documentation never catching up.
- V-2 9y agoYes it's a dirty world overall, but Android Studio - all its issues notwithstanding - is a great improvement over Eclipse regardless, and an awesome IDE. At least in terms of software design as such.
