  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I am using this library:</p>
  
  <p><a href="http://grepcode.com/snapshot/repository.grepcode.com/java/ext/com.google.android/android/4.3_r2.1/">http://grepcode.com/snapshot/repository.grepcode.com/java/ext/com.google.android/android/4.3_r2.1/</a></p>
  
  <p>I pulled the JAR file and added it to my project - the project I am trying to build is:</p>
  
  <p><a href="https://github.com/domi007/silentSMS/">https://github.com/domi007/silentSMS/</a></p>
  
  <p>I understand it is because my xms and xmx values are too low. I increased them in:</p>
  
  <p>/Applications/Android Studio.app/bin/idea.vmoptions so that it now says:</p>
  
  <pre><code>-Xms256m
  -Xmx1024m
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>However, I still get the error. What could this be caused by? Apart from the silentSMS app being an Eclipse project and me porting the code over to Android Studio I haven't changed anything. In terms of Android Studio spotting errors - it doesn't, and everything else looks fine.</p>
