[Ubuntu] I installed Android Studio but no .desktop file generated, and does not appear in the Gnome apps list.
Answered
Normally I would just find an icon and an executable and create the .desktop file myself. But I searched the .AndroidStudio4.0 directory and could not find an executable. IE this returned nothing:
find ~/.AndroidStudio4.0/ -executable -type f
I really think that when the Toolbox installs something, an obvious step would be to create the .desktop file. It could live in a folder managed by the Toolbox and just have a symlink in ~/.local/share/applications/, but when someone installs a program they expect it to show up in the list of applications. Is something broken?

Open Android Studio Goto Tools > Create Desktop Entry
This will create Android Studio Desktop Icon in the launcher on Linux
Thanks for the update! This is a solution which is also described here.
