Capacitor: Automatic detection of Android Studio on linux

[erperejildo]

npx cap open android

this command tries to open Android Studio on a default path but I've got this installed on a different location

Ok, found this:
https://github.com/ionic-team/capacitor/commit/f68ea10a1b3659e32d2029a771ba35fdfd96cd5f

Working now, but it's a bit annoying if we're working on different computers. There is no way to automatically find Android Studio like Cordova does?

Found this, we can try it https://github.com/apache/cordova-android/blob/master/bin/templates/cordova/lib/getASPath.bat

[erperejildo]

sounds nice. Let me know if it works

[JuanSeBestia]

Me too for ubuntu

Android Studio installed from AUR on Arch Linux is also not detected.

The configuration option to override the install path only works on Windows.

[jcesarmobile]

@darrenmothersele the linux configuration option is linuxAndroidStudioPath, have you tried that one?

As the automatic detection is working on windows now and it's not a problem on macOS, edited the issue title for linux (but not sure if it's possible to detect it there)

[darrenmothersele]

@jcesarmobile sorry it took a while for me to respond. I stopped using my linux machine for daily development work and I'm back on my hackintosh - so was unable to test this.

I can confirm that setting linuxAndroidStudioPath does work correctly.

sorry, where can I see and edit the linuxAndroidStudioPath config? thanks

@gbhipolitoglyph linuxAndroidStudioPath is a key-value in your capacitor.config.json.
