Android java.exe finished with non-zero exit value 1 [closed]


Had the same error encountered which was due to conflicting drawable resources. I did a clean project and the error was no longer encountered.


After a lot of surfing, i found out the problem is GC overhead (out of memory). By adding below code to my build.gradle saved my day.

android {    dexOptions {        incremental = true;        preDexLibraries = false        javaMaxHeapSize "4g" // 2g should be also OK    }}

reference - ProcessException: org.gradle.process.internal.ExecException finished with non-zero exit value 2


It must have been a problem with my Java install. I removed all traces of Java (C://program files/Java/jdk) and jre folders and reinstalled it from the official page and now it works fine.
