Hi,
I got an out of memory error while compiling, after adding admob resources to my latest build.

UNEXPECTED TOP-LEVEL ERROR:

Picked up _JAVA_OPTIONS:  -Xmx512M
    Optimized dexer failed. Switching to Standard dexer.

Any options to increase my java overhead? I've got 16gb ram in my pc.

Have you tried to add

SetApplicationAttribute(android:largeHeap, "true")

to your manifest?

 

[DonManfred]

Check the video here. Ok, it´s a german windows but i think you will find what you are searching (setting the _JAVA_OPTIONS Environment-Variable)

 

[merlin2049er]

ok, thanks.

I tried the adding that to the manifest, it didn't help much.

I removed it and set the _java_options
from -Xmx-512m to -Xmx-1g

That worked.

You need to increase the MaxRamForDex value: https://www.b4x.com/android/forum/t...zed-dex-error-need-help-pls.10428/#post-58036

Thanks, I had forgotten where the b4a config file was.
