Creating An Application Launcher Icon For Android Studio


Answer :

This is so simple...



Go to Android Studio > Tools > Create desktop Entry



Here is my android-studio.desktop file. Its working after adding bash -i before program path.



[Desktop Entry]
Version=1.0
Type=Application
Name=Android Studio
Exec=bash -i "/home/user/android-studio/bin/studio.sh" %f
Icon=/home/user/android-studio/bin/studio.png
Categories=Development;IDE;
Terminal=false
StartupNotify=true
StartupWMClass=jetbrains-android-studio
Name[en_GB]=android-studio.desktop


This has been asked before for IntelliJ. Since Android Studio is the same in this context I will link to the answer and copy it here.

Snippet from linked answer



[Old Answer]



Download IntelliJ IDEA CE from [www.jetbrains.com/idea/download/][3].




  1. Extract ideaIC-XX.Y.Z.tar.gz using



    tar -zxvf ideaIC-XX.Y.Z.tar.gz

  2. Become root.



    sudo -i

  3. Move the extracted folder to /opt/idea



    mv ideaIC-XX.Y.Z /opt/idea

  4. Create a desktop file and install it:



    gedit idea.desktop


    and copy the following to the idea.desktop file.



    [Desktop Entry]
    Name=IntelliJ IDEA 
    Type=Application
    Exec=idea.sh
    Terminal=false
    Icon=idea
    Comment=Integrated Development Environment
    NoDisplay=false
    Categories=Development;IDE;
    Name[en]=IntelliJ IDEA


    then execute the following command to automatically install it in the unity:



    desktop-file-install idea.desktop

  5. Create a symlink in /usr/local/bin using



    cd /usr/local/bin
    ln -s /opt/idea/bin/idea.sh

  6. For idea icon to be displayed in dash, idea icon can be added as



    cp /opt/idea/bin/idea.png /usr/share/pixmaps/idea.png



That's it. Now, you can launch IntelliJ from Ubuntu dash.



Note that there is an updated version of this answer and I suspect that it might apply to android studio as well.

Converting A String To Int In Groovy

Answer : Use the toInteger() method to convert a String to an Integer , e.g. int value = "99".toInteger() An alternative, which avoids using a deprecated method (see below) is int value = "66" as Integer If you need to check whether the String can be converted before performing the conversion, use String number = "66" if (number.isInteger()) { int value = number as Integer } Deprecation Update In recent versions of Groovy one of the toInteger() methods has been deprecated. The following is taken from org.codehaus.groovy.runtime.StringGroovyMethods in Groovy 2.4.4 /** * Parse a CharSequence into an Integer * * @param self a CharSequence * @return an Integer * @since 1.8.2 */ public static Integer toInteger(CharSequence self) { return Integer.valueOf(self.toString().trim()); } /** * @deprecated Use the CharSequence version * @see #toInteger(CharSequence) */ @Deprecated public static Integer toInteger(String self) { return toInteg

"Cannot Create Cache Directory /home//.composer/cache/repo/https---packagist.org/, Or Directory Is Not Writable. Proceeding Without Cache"

Answer : if anyone pass through here, this is shorter solution: sudo chown -R $USER $HOME/.composer it seems to me the group information is missing in your command sudo chown -R <user> /home/<user>/.composer/cache/repo/https---packagist.org Shoud be sudo chown -R <user>:<group> /home/<user>/.composer/cache/repo/https---packagist.org But to avoid other permission issues, I would rather advise: sudo chown -R <user>:<group> /home/<user>/.composer/cache (you'll need access to other folders in there) and sudo chown <user>:<group> /home/<user>/.composer To make sure your user has permissions enough on the global composer folder. Mind the missing recursion so the user don't own keys created by root. If you need to find out the group: groups <user>

Android How Can I Convert A String To A Editable

Answer : As you probably found out, Editable is an interface so you cannot call new Editable() . However an Editable is nothing more than a String with Spannables, so use SpannableStringBuilder: Editable editable = new SpannableStringBuilder("Pass a string here"); If you only want to change the Spannables, never the text itself, you can use a basic SpannableString. Use Editable.Factory.getInstance().newEditable(str) From the android documentation: Returns a new SpannedStringBuilder from the specified CharSequence. You can override this to provide a different kind of Spanned.
