Eclipse ADT plug-in – Graphical layout flickers and runs out of memory… here is a solution to the problem.

Eclipse ADT plug-in – Graphical layout flickers and runs out of memory

Because there is no reply other question I’m not sure if anyone noticed it because it’s an open question, I’m posting here again hoping someone can help me; )

When I do anything in ADT’s graphical layout editor, the layout buttons (horizontal center, vertical center, etc.) start flashing for about 10 seconds. During this time, Eclipse’s JVM used approximately 200 MiB of RAM. This RAM is also not freed at any time until Eclipse is completely turned off. This is especially annoying because I can only do about 6 operations per Eclipse session until I have to restart it to free up RAM again.

Environment:
Windows XP SP3
JDK 1.6.0_31
eclipse 3.7
ADT 16.0.1

Plugin: [ http://pastebin.com/b1ZT4904].

Any tips are welcome =)

greeting
Chris

Solution

When checking, the new lint consumes memory and flashes buttons. Turn off some checks for now. (or “On save…” checkbox) you can find it in the window/preferences menu -> search for “lint”.
