How to open Android Studio on i3
i3 is turning out not to be as simple as the instructions claim. For example the instructions claim I can open an application with partial name. So I tried opening the Chrome browser by typing chrome and that didn't work; I had to type google-chrome for it to work. Now I am trying to open Android Studio but nothing I try works so far. I have tried typing studio, android-studio, jetbrains-studio -- nothing.
Does anyone know a simple way to get opening applications to work? I mean, opening applications is among the most relevant tasks and it's proving too difficult.

See this answer: askubuntu.com/questions/634082/… . Make sure the location of the adroid studio executable (studio.sh in the answer) is added to the PATH variable, if it's not dmenu ( the launcher in i3) won't "look" in the right place for it. To do this, add to .bashrc or .profile in your home folder:export PATH=$PATH:/path/to/directory/of/executable.

Thanks for the tip. I openvim ~/.profileand as the last line I added:export PATH=$PATH:/usr/more_path/android.sh. Then I restarted i3 and it still doesn't work if I search forandroidin dmenu. And yes I get the location of android studion by doingwhereis android
