android garbage-collection blocking

I'm having this problem when I debug my app. It blocks at this line and I don't know what is causing it. I could not find any answer or anyone that had the same problem. I have no clue what part of the code could cause this to happen. Do you have any ideas or have experience with this? I'm using Android Studio 3.1, JRE 1.8.0, JVM: OpenJDK 64-bit
