Flutter - FAILURE: Build failed with an exception. - Unable to start the daemon process. - Android Studio - VSCode

Question

Whenever I try to run a flutter app using flutter run -v i get the below error. If i don't use the terminal and just click run the running gradle task keeps running and nothing happens.

I tried:

1. changed in gradle.properties org.gradle.jvmargs=-Xmx1536m => org.gradle.jvmargs:-Xmx1024m
2. deleted .gradle file
3. reset my laptop

what can i do?

flutter run -v

Flutter doctor

*flutter build apk -v

Solution 1

The problem was that OpenJDK platform binary opens many instances which eats up my memory, I found out about this problem from this question and this answer said to turn off the Hotspot and that did work. Also restarting your laptop might work for some cases but not all.

I don't know how the Hotspot is the problem or in what way is it connected to OpenJDK if anyone has an explanation please comment it.

Solution 2

Please always post your error logs as text and not images.

1- run flutter clean then build again.

2- Are you running it on a simulator or physical device?

3- If on a simulator, increase that devices virtual ram. Better more, delete the simulator and create a new one.

4- If still doesn't work, run flutter upgrade.

5- Can you build the file as an APK? in other words, not to run on a device?

6- Please post the output of flutter build apk -v.

You don't have enough computer ram. I'd suggest switching to vscode and also upgrading your ram to at least 8gb

[salma.m]

@Uni, my ram 8gb (7.71 gb usable), for vscode it give an alert this window is no longer responding for flutter run

[CoderUni]

That's weird. Could you post the output of flutter run --verbose?

[salma.m]

I am running it on a physical device

[Huthaifa Muayyad]

It could mean your device is out of memeory. Kindly post the output of flutter build apk -v , and we can see if your app builds or not, ro rule out it's an issue with your computer or configuration Vs simulator\phone issues.

[salma.m]

I added flutter build apk -v output

[Huthaifa Muayyad]

@salma.m it's apparently a computer issue, something is eating up your memory. Try restarting your computer freshly, close everything out and open open your code, then try to build it. What operating system are you using?

[salma.m]

I am using windows 10.

[Huthaifa Muayyad]

Did a fresh restart of your device help?

[salma.m]

Yes the error is no longer there but it still gets stuck at running gradle task 'assembleDebug'

[Huthaifa Muayyad]

@salma.m this means progress.is the output of flutter build apk -v the same? How long have you been building?

[salma.m]

Flutter build apk -v : Unable to allocate 49152KB bitmaps for parallel garbage collection for the requested 1572864KB heap

Yes! It worked for me too...
