It's just Android Studio

Building an app? If that scares u, u should see chrome's memory usage when idle.

I always say this to android studio rants.

GRADLE IS HELL !

@Gianlu I know how you feel fellow app developer. (I think it's android studios fault) My computer have crashed and frozen up like 3-4 times in two weeks working with android studio and Gradle...

@CozyPlanes Yea, like I said above. Gradle is good in theory but does it work...? NOPE

2gb RAM and some Celeron cpu? I have an i5-4200u (wich is not a very capable CPU) and I don't nothing like your values

I'm uploading my first app today

You need at least 8 GB RAM to run Android studio smoothly

@strang3quark @gldraphael Really, i7-4770S with 12gb of RAM

When gradle is working it uses as much cpu as possible to run the build faster. Most of the compiler will uses cpu like this when compiling a lot of files.

Gradle build is running...
