Guys in some PC s this issue is caused by antivirus programs AFTER upgrading to the latest android studio and gradle version  In my case I tore my system apart troubleshooting everything only to find out that Commodo Internet security was responsible for not letting the gradle daemon run   After safelisting the process everything runs smoothly  PLEASE NOTE that everything was OK before updating  The issue came up only after the update without changing anything in the antivirus firewall program

Believe it or not  I just encountered this sudden problem after performing a Windows Update on Windows 10  Somehow  that update messed up my existing Malwarebytes Anti-Exploit program  and ultimately caused Android Studio to be unable to invoke the JVM  I couldn t even open cmd exe     Solution was to remove the Malwarebytes Anti-Exploit program  this may be fixed in the future

I think if your environment just got messed up because of some VCS merging or commit errors  which is my case  i would suggest you just re-import your porject and add it to the root of your VCS to restore the project  If you use a VCS like git  or subversion  you ll simply have to add your project to the root of the given repo and everything should be back to normal  This worked for me though

Try adding -Xmx512m in Android Studio- gt Settings- gt Compiler- gt VM Options as in below image    Reason for this issue could be  Grade s build daemon   forked process   is invoked with maximum Java heap size as platform default value  On a 32 bit  Windows this system this could be as high as 1GB  We get this error message  if that much default  heap size cannot be allocated to the build deamon  So use the -Xmx option to set a lower heap size  It is not necessary to stick to -Xmx lt size gt  with size as 512m  In my Win 32bit  4GB RAM machine  -Xmx768m was also good enough

It has to do with how much memory is available for AS to create a VM environment for your app to populate  The thing is that ever since the update to 2 2 I ve had the same problem every time I try to create a new project in AS   How I solve it is by going into Project  on the left hand side    Gradle Scripts   gradle properties  When it opens the file go to the line under   Line 10   Specifies the JVM arguments used for the daemon process   Line 11   The setting is particularly useful for tweaking memory settings   You re looking for the line that starts with  org gradle jvmargs   This should be line 12  Change line 12 to this  org gradle jvmargs -Xmx2048m -XX MaxPermSize 512m -XX  HeapDumpOnOutOfMemoryError -Dfile encoding UTF-8   After changing this line you can either sync the gradle with the project by clicking Try again on the notification telling you the gradle sync failed  it ll be at the top of the file you opened   Or you can simply close and restart the AS and it should sync   Essentially what this is saying is for AS to allocate more memory to the app initialization  I know it s not a permanent fix but it should get you through actually starting your app
