Android Question Cannot compile old project after update SDK

[JLS]

I have update today (jan, 24) the SDK. Since then, when I try to compile an old Project, I get the following message:

If I restore the old Android folder it Works fine again.

Anybody could tell me what's the problem?

Thanks in advance.

I have changed it to 1024 (it was 512) and now it's working fine again.

Thanks a lot, Erel.

Same problem with beta 5.8 version.

Using the CRWear example;
First tried to compile the wearable project which failed with time outs and UNEXPECTED TOP-LEVEL ERROR etc... so increased the MaxRamForDex so 2048 which solved that one. *** although no apk was produced ***?
Then tried to compile the handheld project; sill getting UNEXPECTED TOP-LEVEL ERROR even after upping the MaxRam value to 4096.

These are quite small projects; one of my much larger projects (13 complex activities) compiles just fine.

Anything else I can try?

Thanks

Can you post the full error message?

I don't think that this issue is related to v5.80. Are you sure that you changed MaxRamForDex while the IDE was closed?

I did fall into that trap first time round but then edited the file and even rebooted PC then checked it again after trying to compile.

I take it that this is the correct ini file...?
Thanks

Do'h. Just seen the B4xV5 ini and changed that. Now compiling OK...
Thanks
