*Furiously cracks fingers and starts typing*

When I first tried out mobile app development some weeks ago I found it pretty fun. Now when I have a internship with a company to create a Android app I was kind of excited. Now after just a week I don't think I will come back to Android development again. Android studio eats my RAM and made my computer hang itself, and the thing I despise the most is gradle! AS f**ks with my gradle also so now they are all gone and i'm trying to rewrite them by myself...

    It's not AS that eats your RAM - it's Gradle...

    My system also have 8 GB RAM and I do android development using AS + Gradle.

    Believe me, it only takes ram between 1-1.8 GB.

    I mint KDE Edition and with several tabs on chrome and android studio running, my memory usage is usually 3 GB

    I develop with Android Studio all the time and have never had any issues. I've used it on laptops, desktop and always seemed to work well. 😞

    This seems to be a call for a proper sysadmin demigod...

    @Artemix, you're right Android Studio doesn't get that much memory. It uses much less than Eclipse+ADT used to take. The problem is when you need to use emulators.
