@Linux bro I have 16GB and an SSD, was switching some of my app views to use constraint layout and AS was so damn slow like it's running on a Pentium 1... While I have Core I7 with trubo boost up to 3.1 😒
-
@Linux oh sorry forgot how much you liked it 😓
Hope u got those driver's running 🤠-
@SitiSchu that's the max it took on my end, I guess you saw a lot more than that 😅
-
@Artemix well on my end it is fast but UI designer just sucks. And as u can see memory consumption also sucks
-
Eariel19088y@gitpush, but the preview tab on the XML editor is getting better with each iteration, so that's nice. I only use the layout editor when playing with a ConstraintLayout. For anything else I use text.
-
@Eariel true story, still have to work with constraint layout before I switch fully to text, I feel constraint layout is similar to Relative Layout in terms of coding
-
Eariel19088y@gitpush, yeah, it's pretty similar but it has more rules I don't know the names yet 😊
-
sayopaul918yI've never tried Android development but with all these things I hear , what exactly makes it so slow and RAM desperate ?
-
tahnik389898yUnused memory is wasted memory. Any software running on jvm will always take as much memory as it take unless OS asks the memory back.
-
tahnik389898y@dontbeevil why would they want to optimize their memory usage when jvm is doing it for them?

Nope not spyware it's just that the program(The Fourndry Nuke) uses a lot of RAM....but we have 128 GB workstations so it's fine :) -
nocgod17588yDude my company tries a new security solution from a local startup... It has a memory leak, I have to daily restart the computer because it eats in a night 5gb of ram and up to 20% cpu
-
SHA-25614478y@gitpush We have some Workstations with 256 GB too...more RAM doesn't fit on the motherboard lol
-
hexc11268yWait you said you have an i7 turbo to 3.1ghz... So it's ether a really old PC of a laptop... Doesn't really sound like a ram issue. Just sayin.
-
@hexc you can say old, bought it December 2013, has core I7 3632Q
a clean build takes max 1 minute but as u can see RAM usage is insane when visual studio rarely reach 500MB -
All Jetbrains IDEs have similar memory footprint, I mean don't get me wrong Jetbrains IDEs are some of the best one you will find out there. It's jus that they are coded in Java
-
tahnik389898y@dontbeevil you misunderstood me. I was talking about the optimisation normally c++ devs does to keep memory on track. The pictures op posted is pretty normal for jvm. Even the simplest java gui can easily eat 2-3 gb ram just because it's available. Surely you can just call system.gc() everytime you are clicking a button, it's just simply not needed.
Please Android studio eat more RAM, u peace of ..... 😡
