I am new to cordova and am trying to create an android HelloWold project.

When I use cordova platforms add android, it throws some exception:

D:\CordovaSpace\helloWorld>cordova platforms add android
Adding android project...

* What went wrong:
Unable to start the daemon process.
This problem might be caused by incorrect configuration of the daemon.
For example, an unrecognized jvm option is used.

shall we send you some more RAM? – Insensate 19/12, 2016 at 6:34

you lack of 2 GB ram I think – Deegan 19/12, 2016 at 6:36

So what should I do ? (Please forgive me that I can not speak English very well) – Needlepoint 19/12, 2016 at 6:46

buy more RAM? How much do you have at the moment? – Deegan 19/12, 2016 at 6:47

I check my Computer Ram hava about 3.84 G – Needlepoint 19/12, 2016 at 6:56

looks like it is not enough – Deegan 19/12, 2016 at 7:14

@ScaryWombat So easy to be sarcastic! My system has 9Gb of free memory and I still get the same problem. – Phoebephoebus 3/4, 2018 at 5:10

@Phoebephoebus Yes, sorry humour does not scale well on the internet. – Insensate 3/4, 2018 at 5:27

Try again after increasing your Java VM(?) memory size.

Here is how to fix it on a Windows platform:

Go to Start -> Control Panel -> System -> Advanced(tab) -> Environment Variables -> System Variables -> New:
Variable name: _JAVA_OPTIONS
Variable value: -Xmx512M

Don't ignore the score and underscore characters.

Add a local or user environment variable _JAVA_OPTIONS works just as well. – Rettarettig 14/4, 2017 at 8:53

source ? – Pharmacopsychosis 16/5, 2017 at 18:32

This worked like a charm for me, but after restarting the cli. – Zoila 16/8, 2017 at 7:37

Works like charm! – Francinefrancis 29/10, 2017 at 23:34

It Works, Thank you – Coppery 7/12, 2017 at 4:16

This works for me, but after that, I can't open eclipse anymore. – Sharma 26/10, 2018 at 13:19

@Sharma IntelliJ also inherits from these settings. It even ignores its own settings to use this one. Dealbreaker for me. – Blunt 24/5, 2019 at 16:40

I had the exact same problem. I switched to use 64-bit JDK as suggested in here and it worked fine. I was using Ionic 3.5.0 on Windows 10.

this worked for my ionic app.

Change line on

// to allow dex in process
'org.gradle.jvmargs': '-Xmx1024m',

from

// to allow dex in process
'org.gradle.jvmargs': '-Xmx2048m',

in your

<app path>\platforms\android\cordova\lib\config

thanks

Thanks, your answer solved my problem, I was stuck for 3 days. I applied many different things. but ignoring your answer as score is less. Thank you – Derr 20/3, 2020 at 4:41

Go to : \platforms\android\cordova\lib\config\GradlePropertiesParser.js

constructor (platformDir) {
        this._defaults = {
            // 10 seconds -> 6 seconds
            'org.gradle.daemon': 'true',

            // to allow dex in process
            'org.gradle.jvmargs': '-Xmx2048m',

            // allow NDK to be used - required by Gradle 1.5 plugin
            'android.useDeprecatedNdk': 'true'

            // Shaves another 100ms, but produces a "try at own risk" warning. Not worth it (yet):
            // 'org.gradle.parallel': 'true'
        };

And change the 'org.gradle.jvmargs': '-Xmx2048m', to 'org.gradle.jvmargs': '-Xmx1024m',

Go to Start -> Control Panel -> System -> Advanced(tab) -> Environment Variables -> System Variables

Add/change JAVA_HOME value from C:\Program Files (x86)\Java\jdk1.8.0_192 to C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.8.0_192

That is, change from Program Files (x86) path to Program Files path.

And install the 64bit version if you don't have it. – Heronry 29/3, 2019 at 10:14

The above comment solved my issue. Java_Home was pointing to a 32 bit version. – Melesa 13/1, 2020 at 3:7

Happy to know it helped. – Allx 13/1, 2020 at 4:21

I had a same problem.

Anyway, here is how to fix it: Go to Start->Control Panel->System->Advanced(tab)->Environment Variables->System Variables->New: Variable name: _JAVA_OPTIONS

Variable value: -Xmx512M

if 512 not work then change it to.

Variable value: -Xmx1024M

And also change the path.

Variable name: Path

Variable value: ;C:\Program Files\Java\jre6\bin;F:\JDK\bin;

Change this to your appropriate path.

Setting the environment variable at system level as in the @kemal's solution will set the memory size for all the JVM applications in the system, which is not a what most would want to do.

Instead, set the heap size in your cordova gradlebuilder property file.

args.push('-Dorg.gradle.jvmargs=-Xmx2048m');

Do you mean project/platforms/android/build.gradle? – Aversion 2/11, 2018 at 14:41

The precetents did not work for me. This worked. I changed the row

org.gradle.jvmargs=-Xmx2048m

to

org.gradle.jvmargs=-Xmx1024m

in the file /platforms/android/gradle.properties

Variable value: -Xmx512M

Variable value: -Xmx1024M

Variable value: ;C:\Program Files\Java\jre6\bin;F:\JDK\bin;
