Re: [android-developers] Every few hours Eclipse + ADT runs out of resources...

Hi

I know this is an old post but I'm running across the very same problem with Eclipse every single day since I installed the latest SDK / plugin version. After about 3 to 4 hours of coding and debugging (on an actual device) the run process (for installing and starting the app) gets slower and slower up to a point where the progress indicator in the status bar does not move at all and Eclipse gets unresponsive.

After waiting for a few minutes I may get an OutOfMemoryException. But usually I have to kill the Eclipse process which usually damages workspace settings and sometimes even a few opened files.

I am using:

Eclipse Version: 3.7.2
Build id: M20120208-0800

OS: OpenSUSE 12.1

Java VM: java-1.7.0-sun (for running Eclipse itself)

ADT Plugin:    18.0.0.v201203301601-306762  

Android SDK Tools: Rev 19
Android SDK Platform Tools: Rev 11

Unfortunately I cannot provide you with relevant Eclipse error log excerpts because the log file got trashed after recovering from the last crash.

I'm not sure how helpful that is. But it takes me by surprise that I couldn't find any more recent complaints / posts about this issue, so maybe it is just me and my setup. However, I have only encountered these problems in relation with Android development and everything used to work without a problem so far.


Cheers,

Thomas

Let me know if this still happens.
