Problem Compiling aspose.slids-1.1.0.jar in Android Studio Project

Hi I am trying to use your Aspose.Slides libary in an android project and I am having trouble building the project. It is stating that there is an java.lang.OutOfMemoryError: Java heap space.


I have tried increasing the heap allocation via the VM Options in android studio with the following: -Xms256m -Xmx4096m. Here is a copy of the stack trace. Can you please assist.

UNEXPECTED TOP-LEVEL ERROR:
java.lang.OutOfMemoryError: Java heap space

Hi Scott,

Thanks for your interest in Aspose.Slides.

I have observed the information shared by you and suggest you to please try using an empty presentation object and saving that to file to see if that works or not. The heaps size depends on size and content inside the presentation generally. You can try performing the above test on your end to verify the api functioning first on your end.

PresentationEx pres=new PresentationEx();
pres.save(“test.pptx”,SaveFormat.PPTX);

Many Thanks,

Hi Mudassir,


It wont compile at all. I’ve got a brand new Android Studio project, added the jar to libs folder, added a reference to compile in gradle, and it presents the above stack trace.

Thanks Scott

Hi Scott,

Can you please share the sample android project with us so that I may investigate that on my end to help you further in this regard. Also, I suggest you to please try creating a sample application without using Aspose.Slides and see if things work on your end. Please share your feedback with us after performing the requested test.

Many Thanks,
