Android Question Java use of Memory

[Markos]

Hi ,

I noticed B4a is using alot of memory as the IDE opens and stays at least 550MB Memory usage for java.exe, this is with Java 11 and 14, is this normal? I have noticed navigation stalls in the IDE. Is this unique to my laptop or is there an optimisation or fix I can apply to optimise or fix.

Thanks

This is probably the auto backup, noticeable on a laptop as the disk may spin down when not used to save power. You can turn it off in Tools -> IDE Settings.

The java process is the optimized dexer. It shouldn't affect the IDE performance. It can be disabled from the INI file if you are low on memory.
