Android Studio freezes after updating to 2.0

Question

I have just updated my Android Studio from 1.4 to 2.0, on startup it freezes on splash-screen. is it possible to fix it or i have to download it again?

Answer 1

At First Update Your Android SDK Tools (Support Repository )

Actually Android Studio creates a local directory . AndroidStudio to cache its own data. In most environments, this is acceptable. However, the size of the directory can easily exceed 300Mb and, if you have a space constraint on your home drive (or a roaming profile in windows), this may be better off in some other place.

The location of this directory is placed in an idea.properties file in the bin/ directory of your AS is installed.

Answer 2

This is an answer for my question, after trying many methods now it works fine. This is how i resolved my problem by:

• Updating Android SDK Tools and the latest SDK Platform
• Removing the Android Studio cache folder situated in C:\Users\<username>\.AndroidStudioPreview2.0
• Running android studio again

Answer 3

Which operating system are you using?

For Windows, check the log of

C:\Users\<Username>\.AndroidStudioPreview2.0\system\log\idea.log

and paste here the last relevant entries on the bottom with a recent timestamp, containing an error message or indication of a possible freeze.

Also, check that you don't have any Android Studio, IntelliJ, or java-processes running before you start Android Studio.

Answer 4

Its very strange. I have also updated to 2.0 in my MAC, Ubuntu and Windows 10. I didn't feel any issues till now in any of these.

Please note that 2.0 is still a preview. You may have to wait till Google releases the stable version.
