How to fix this error "GC overhead limit exceeded in Eclipse". This problem was occurred when I used graphical layout from ADT android.

From the root of the Eclipse folder open the eclipse. ini and change the default maximum heap size of -Xmx256m to -Xmx1024m on the last line. NOTE: If there is a lot of memory available on the machine, you can also try using -Xmx2048m as the maximum heap size.
To prevent applications running out of memory, objects in the Java heap that are no longer required must be reclaimed. This process is known as garbage collection (GC).
The GC Overhead Limit Exceeded error is an indication of a resource exhaustion i.e. memory. The JVM throws this error if the Java process spends more than 98% of its time doing GC and only less than 2% of the heap is recovered in each execution.
eclipse.ini file can be edited. Increase the values for memory usage. Please see the sample eclipse.ini file below.
--launcher.XXMaxPermSize
