I have spent half-an-hour trying to make sense of this document, and I have come to the tentative conclusion that it is the worst Linux HowTo/Tutorial that I have ever seen. And that is setting a very low standard. I seem to recall that the Fedora-24 System Administrators Guide on Postfix was a rival, but not a close one. [That started with a dissertation on Selinux.] The document starts by telling me to press Run. Unsurprisingly, I don't have any button called Run on my laptop screen, so I assume I am supposed to start Android Studio in some way. I look in /usr/local/android-studio/run and the only executable file there that seems the slightest bit plausible is studio.sh . I try ./studio.sh and it does indeed seem to start Android Studio . [If this is what I was meant to do, perhaps that might have been mentioned.] There is a message down the bottom that says "Failed to sync Gradle project 'ActionBarCompat-ShareActionProvider'". There is indeed a menu entitled "Run" in the taskbar at the top of the screen, and this menu has an item Run in it, but it is greyed out. The only active choice is "View Breakpoints ...". I have stopped at this point, and must go for a walk and think about something simple like Fermat's Last Theorem. -- Timothy Murphy gayleard /at/ eircom.net School of Mathematics, Trinity College, Dublin _______________________________________________ users mailing list -- users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe send an email to users-leave@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
