Resolving problems with Android Studio freezing constantly

Question

I have 8GB of RAM and 500GB hard disk but when I am using Android Studio it still freezes so much that I am unable to do my work. I have reinstalled the software without any improvement. I also formatted my system and reinstalled Android Studio again but nothing works. Can anyone tell me what can be a possible solution to this?

Answer 1

In android studio application package content, edit studio.vmoptions file and increase "-Xms" and "-Xmx" parameters like

-Xms1024m
-Xmx4096m

UPDATE

I figured out that idea is getting error while writing or reading cache (from idea.log)

WARN - .caches.project.IdeaModuleInfo - Could not find correct module information. Reason: Analyzing element of type class com.android.tools.idea.databinding.LightGeneratedComponentClass with no containing file Text: null

Every time when android studio freezes, I delete .idea/caches/ in project folder so it fixes freeze problem temporary

Answer 2

in my case, noticed that the number of "Recent hangs" of Android Studio was constantly increasing, and unplugged the USB cable which connected an Android phone for debugging did solve my problem.
