Android-Studio : Error: Could not create the Java Virtual Machine
In my case, I changed below file to modify vm heap option.
C:\Program Files\Android\android-studio\bin\studio.exe.vmoptionsI increased -Xms128m to -Xms512m and restarted Android Studio.
After that, I could go to next step.
I found a solution to this problem on an old vs-android issue.
You should create a new environment variable named _JAVA_OPTIONS, set it to-Xms256m -Xmx1024m and it should work.
I guess you have the same problem as me. I use Windows 7 32bit and therefore my Java SDK and runtime are also 32 bit.Gradle runs in its own Java VM and Android Studio starts this VM with a heap size parameter (-Xmx1024m) of 1 GB. This is too much for my 32-bit environment and creating the JVM fails.
If I manually start Gradle with -Xmx512m as JVM option Gradle starts without problems, but so far I have not found out how to tell Android Studio to start the JVM differently while it creates a new Android project.
So currently I'm also still stuck.
