Android Studio Error: Unable to start the daemon process - android-studio

i cant fix this error
Error:Unable to start the daemon process.
This problem might be caused by incorrect configuration of the daemon.
For example, an unrecognized jvm option is used.
Please refer to the user guide chapter on the daemon at https://docs.gradle.org/2.8/userguide/gradle_daemon.html
Please read the following process output to find out more:
Error: Could not create the Java Virtual Machine.
Error: A fatal exception has occurred. Program will exit.
Invalid maximum heap size: -Xmx256ml

Open gradle.properties in root of android project and check what all lines are commented out. I think, this problem occurs when you don't have enough RAM.

Looks like your vmoptions file is somehow corrupted.
If you can start Studio, then you can edit these settings from the Android Studio menu. Open Help->Edit Custom VM Options. Check to make sure the -Xmx line has something like -Xmx256m. The error line you posted above seems to indicate that there is somehow an extra l at the end of the line. If there is, remove just the l, save and restart.
If you can't start Studio, then you need to manually edit studio.vmoptions or studio64.vmoptions, depending on your installation. These files are located a local preferences directory with a name dependent on the version you are running. See this for the different possibilities. For me (64-bit Ubuntu 16.04, Studio 2.1), studio64.vmoptions is located in ~/.AndroidStudio2.1. Do not edit the vmoptions file in the installation directory (unless of course this is where the problem was introduced).

Changing CAPACITOR_ANDROID_STUDIO_PATH in Arch Linux

I'm trying to set up my development environment for CapacitorJS on Arch Linux.
I followed the documentation and added
CAPACITOR_ANDROID_STUDIO_PATH=/usr/bin/android-studio
to my systems environment variables (not the project) but I'm still getting the same error
[error] Unable to launch Android Studio. Is it installed?
Attempted to open Android Studio at:
/usr/local/android-studio/bin/studio.sh
You can configure this with the CAPACITOR_ANDROID_STUDIO_PATH
environment variable.
Even though It's never pointed to /usr/local/android-studio/bin/studio.sh
I ran whereis android-studio and got android-studio: /usr/bin/android-studio, so I thought that would be the correct path, but every time I run npx cap open android it says it's trying it launch from the same path and never changes
It depends how you've installed it, for example Toolbox installs it inside the user's home directory.
nano ~/.bashrc
export CAPACITOR_ANDROID_STUDIO_PATH=~/.local/share/JetBrains/Toolbox/apps/AndroidStudio/ch-0/202.7486908/bin/studio.sh
locate studio.sh might be able to find it, too.

.exe and .msi installers does not runs on Windows 10 OS

I was trying to install Node.js node-v14.15.1-x64 on PC with Windows 10 Pro 64-bit OS, but then I found that the problem appears with any .exe and .msi
If I'm trying to run installer with/without administrator, I got only endless blue loading circle icon on my screen without any error report or process in Task manager:
Hanged icon with cursor arrow does not disappears, even if I will wait for a hour, to stop it, I've to restart computer
I've followed Stein Åsmul answer, which I'm forced keep unmarked, because it seems like nothing helps yet:
I've re-download installation media but now I see that this happens happens to all installers.
I've tried turn off Windows Defender Firewall and Security Antivirus.
with C:\WINDOWS\system32>sfc /scannow Windows Resource Protection did not find any integrity violations.
HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT/.exe value is exefile, and exefile folder value is Application, I have tried to change it with "%1"%*
in HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion in ProgrmFilesDir value is C:\Program Files and in ProgramFiles Dir (x86) is C:\Program Files (x86)
With attempt to C:\WINDOWS\system32>assoc .exe=exefile something also went wrong here, because OS freeze, and I was forced to reboot
C:\WINDOWS\system32>msiexec.exe /i :\Users\User\Desktop\New folder (1)\pycharm-community-2020.2.3.exe /L*v C:\Your.log opens Windows Installers, which describes Display, Install, Restart and Logging Options, but I'm not sure, how to use it, to find out with this issue
Solution:
After removing AVScanner.ini form C:\ directory problem disappeared and installation works fine
Also I have to note, that I will mark answer by Stein Åsmul because I found it useful in similar possible situation, even if it was not solution in this particular case
Any advice, guide or example would be helpful
Overall: Do you have a screenshot? That almost sounds like a Windows Smartscreen issue?
Here are some generic setup.exe debugging suggestions:
Shortened setup.exe problem list
Long setup.exe problem list.
Specific Suggestions: 1) Re-download the installation media first of all. 2) Then reboot and disable anti-virus scanners and try to install. 3) You should also enable logging and look at the log for clues. 4) Try to install as a different admin users. 5) Finally test on a virtual or another machine to verify the integrity of the setup file.
Quick Logging:
msiexec.exe /i C:\Path\Your.msi /L*v C:\Your.log

Node.js - Cannot Install it is showing an error because of .msi

Alternative for Daemon Process

When I open a project in the android studio (latest version), it gives the following error:
ERROR: Unable to start the daemon process.
This problem might be caused by incorrect configuration of the daemon.
For example, an unrecognized jvm option is used. Please refer to the
user guide chapter on the daemon at
https://docs.gradle.org/4.1/userguide/gradle_daemon.html
Please read the following process output to find out more:
Error occurred during initialization of VM
Could not reserve enough space for 1572864KB object heap
Yes, I know that it is saying that there not enough Memory to run the Daemon Process as I have only 3GB RAM. So what is the alternative for it?
Is there any issue if I'll not start the daemon process? As Only Android Studio consumes 800MB
modify value of below mentioned variable in 'gradle.properties' in root of your project.
org.gradle.jvmargs=-Xmx1536m
change it to 'org.gradle.jvmargs=-Xmx536m' and restart android studio.

Android Studio: Invalid maximum heap size: -XmxheapSize, Error:Could not create the Java Virtual Mchine

I have recently upgraded my RAM from 2GB to 4GB, I tried to re-install Android studio in my machine through the Ubuntu shell and an this error in the below image:
Is there anyone ever encounter this error before? If there is any useful resource, please share with me to solve this issue.
I ran into this issue too after I haphazardly edited my VM options from within Android Studio without really paying attention to what I was copy-pasting off StackOverflow. In my case the error was this:
Invalid maximum heap size: -Xmx4096m # <------ increase this to most of your RAM
Error: Could not create the Java Virtual Machine.
Error: A fatal exception has occurred. Program will exit.
My machine has 8GB of RAM, so this helpful error message is instructing me to set this to a higher value.
In your case, -XmxheapSize is clearly not a valid value.
On Ubuntu I had to edit the offending line in this file:
~/.AndroidStudio3.1/config/studio64.vmoptions
(folder and filename may be different for you depending on which version of Android Studio you have and whether you're using 64 or 32bit.)
Run ls -a in your home folder to see all hidden folders, if you're not sure what your Android Studio config folder is named. See this for more details.

How Do I Get j2objc To Run With Doppl?

When I follow the instructions to get Doppl going, and I run the dopplBuild Gradle task, I get an error message about j2objc returning error code 127. What is going on?
One cause of this is not having a JDK available for command-line use on your development machine. While Android Studio can use its own JDK copy, that does not make javac and related tools available from the command line. The j2objc tool in the Doppl toolchain needs these tools available from the command line.
The simplest solution is to download and install a JDK, following whatever the normal practice is for doing so on your development machine's OS, such as downloading JDK 8 from Oracle's site and installing it. If javac runs successfully from the command line, then try running dopplBuild again and see if you get past the "error code 127" result.
