With Android Studio 3.5, the IDE will recognize when an app project needs more RAM on a machine with higher RAM capacity and will notify you to increase the memory heap size in a notification. Even if you have a machine with a large amount of RAM, the IDE will not exceed this value. For those of you with large projects this amount may not be enough. Auto-recommend Memory Settings - By default, Android Studio has a maximum memory heap size of 1.2 GB.With this data the IDE can do two things: suggest better memory settings and offer to do a deeper memory analysis. Starting with Android Studio 3.5, when the IDE runs out of memory, we capture some high level statistics about the size of the memory heap and dominant objects in the heap. To identify leaks, we now measure out-of-memory exceptions on an internal dashboard on an on-going basis for those who opt-in to share data with us which enables us to focus and fix the most impactful issues. We dug into this area, and as part of Project Marble, we have addressed over 33 impactful memory leaks. Many times the reason behind this experience is due to unexpectedly reaching memory pressure or IDE memory leaks. One of the major points of feedback on Android Studio is how slow the IDE runs over time. What's New in Android Development Tools (Google I/O'19) We are certainly not done improving quality with Android Studio, but with the work and new infrastructure put into Project Marble for long term quality tracking we hope that you are even more productive in developing Android apps. Therefore, this post and our Google I/O talk on What’s New in Android Development Tools walk through a variety of changes in each of the major focus areas of Project Marble within Android Studio 3.5. Many times it can be difficult to see the range of changes that go into a quality release. We are seeking your final round of feedback to make sure we didn't miss a key area that matters to you, so download Android Studio 3.5 on the beta channel today to let us know what you think. The results of Project Marble are focused on three core areas: system health, feature polish, and bugs.

Android Studio 3.5 is the culmination of this effort.

Consequently, we kicked off Project Marble, focused on making the fundamental features and flows of the Integrated Development Environment (IDE) rock-solid. Last year, at Google I/O, we heard from many of you that you wanted us to focus even more on quality and stability over features.
