I downloaded the last version of Android Studio for my mac. It took about 60 seconds to startup without any project to index!
I've modified the vm option file in this way
-Xms512m
-Xmx2560m
-XX:MaxPermSize=700m
-XX:ReservedCodeCacheSize=480m
-XX:+UseCompressedOops
-Dfile.encoding=UTF-8
-XX:+UseConcMarkSweepGC
-XX:SoftRefLRUPolicyMSPerMB=50
-Dsun.io.useCanonCaches=false
-Djava.net.preferIPv4Stack=true
-Djna.nosys=true
-Djna.boot.library.path=
-da
-Xverify:none
-XX:ErrorFile=$USER_HOME/java_error_in_studio_%p.log
-XX:HeapDumpPath=$USER_HOME/java_error_in_studio.hprof
But it's still the same
Any suggestion will be appreciated
MacBook Pro specs :
MacBook Pro (Retina, 15-inch, Mid 2014)
Processor : 2,5 GHz Intel Core i7
RAM : 16 GB 1600 MHz DDR3
Graphics : Intel Iris Pro 1536 MB
Storage : SSD 500GB
I found a solution by adding my Mac hostname on the /etc/hosts file mapped to the 127.0.0.1 address as well as the ::1 like this:
127.0.0.1 localhost Macbook-1389.local
::1 localhost Macbook-1389.local
It seems to depend on JVM. Probably it takes a long time to resolve ip-address for localhost.
Fast solution
sudo sed -i bak "s^127\.0\.0\.1.*^127.0.0.1 localhost $(hostname)^g" /etc/hosts
sudo sed -i bak "s^::1.*^::1 localhost $(hostname)^g" /etc/hosts
sudo ifconfig en0 down
sudo ifconfig en0 up
