Right now I am facing the issue that I cannot develop in AndroidStudio using Ubuntu 15.10, because both openjdk-7 and openjdk-8 cause problems.

openjdk-7 issue

Running AndroidStudio using env STUDIO_JDK=/usr/lib/jvm/java-7-openjdk-amd64 /opt/android-studio/bin/studio.sh

causes the VIRT column of top of Xorg to jump to 25.1G while my memory usage seems okay (3.5 of 8 GB used).

However, this causes git-cola to break:

$ git-cola
QNativeImage: Unable to attach to shared memory segment. 

(python:13321): Gdk-WARNING **: shmget failed: error 28 (No space left on device)
X Error: BadDrawable (invalid Pixmap or Window parameter) 9
  Major opcode: 62 (X_CopyArea)

[...]

causing this visual experience:

Guys at Arch say that this is an openjdk-7 related memory leak: https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=201488

openjdk-8 issue

When starting AndroidStudio with openjdk-8 (env STUDIO_JDK=/usr/lib/jvm/java-8-openjdk-amd64 /opt/android-studio/bin/studio.sh) no program's VIRT column exceeds 5GB.

But AndroidStudio crashes after some time (often when showing an auto-complete list in XML or Java).

The last crash reason is

(java:14046): GLib-GObject-WARNING **: /build/glib2.0-ajuDY6/glib2.0-2.46.1/./gobject/gsignal.c:3484: signal name 'bounds_changed' is invalid for instance '0x7fd32c1f01c0' of type 'JawImpl_0'

  • AndroidStudio version: 1.4.0 and 1.4.1 (Beta)
  • OpenJDK8 version: 1.8.0_66-internal
  • OpenJDK7 version: 1.7.0_85

I was running AndroidStudio using openjdk-8 without problems using Ubutnu 15.04.

Ideas?

I had to use Oracle Java 8 (as @wilf suggested as well), which works fine for now.

  • Downloaded from oracle.com and installed to /opt/java8-oracle
  • Starting Android Studio via env STUDIO_JDK=/opt/java8-oracle /opt/android-studio/bin/studio.sh
