Android Studio 2.2.3 hangs a lot in my laptop [closed]

Question

I have a HP laptop with 4GB RAM and core i5 processor. In android studio download page it has been specified that 4GB RAM is recommended. But still my Android Studio hangs and takes a lot of time to respond.

Answer 1

For memory, Android Studio says this

3 GB RAM minimum, 8 GB RAM recommended; plus 1 GB for the Android Emulator

Your OS takes maybe 1-2 GB of RAM itself.

You have a web browser open? That takes some RAM

Open up Android Studio, and it is starved of memory. Running the emulator would be out of the question.

tl;dr Buy a RAM upgrade or play around with JVM settings.
