Solution for Android Studio 0.8.6


STORY:


I recently back to developing some android application.
Unfortunately Google as usual do lots of changes and decided to move admob library to Google play services and this forced me to use Android Studio with Gradle.
It means ,I needed to migrate my IntelliJ IDEA to Android Studio,but this cause some problems.
When you create build.gradle file and then Android Studio detect that and it tries convert project into Gradle project  but it welcomed me with error :

SOLUTION:

If you see this depressing error:




Remember to have enough free memory on your device.( I had problem if i didn't have 1GB of free memory)
Run Android Studio as Administrator


If this doesn't help,then you need increase (or set ) maximum Java heap size.

In other to do that you need :








(optional) Run Android Studio as Administrator
Go to File and press Settings (or use shortcut: Ctrl+Alt+S)
Go to Compiler
Find VM Options and put -Xmx512m.
Press Apply
Press OK
restart IDE






It should works now.

I hope, it helps .Good luck and have fun with development.
