For Wayland support, see https://blog.jetbrains.com/platform/2024/07/wayland-support-preview-in-2024-2/

Basically, open Android Studio, go to Help -> Edit Custom VM Options, then add:

-Dawt.toolkit.name=WLToolkit

As an aside, you won't be able to start any emulators/AVDs if you've set QT_QPA_PLATFORM=wayland. You may get an error like:

The emulator process for AVD Medium_Phone has terminated.

To fix this, you need to set QT_QPA_PLATFORM=xcb when starting Android Studio. For example, by copying and editing the local desktop file:

cp /usr/share/applications/android-studio-canary.desktop ~/.local/share/applications/android-studio-canary.desktop

Then edit the EXEC command in ~/.local/share/applications/android-studio-canary.desktop to be:

Exec=env QT_QPA_PLATFORM=xcb android-studio-canary %f

Exactly.

Thanks for letting me know. In that case, I don't think this is something which will be done in the main package as I know many people who simultaneously use both stable and canary versions at the same time. If I understand correctly making such a change would require symlinking all android-studio-canary files to android-studio which would no longer allow for this.

Actually, you now added provides=("android-studio=${pkgver}"), but in fact I have deleted my comment on it because this provides would also need to have some symlinks added, my comment was a bit quick.

Currently, the package ndroid-studio-canary-android-studio-provides does that; if android-studio-canary really provides android-studio similar things must be taken care of within android-studio-canary.

Can you please remove the executable permission of the PKGBUILD and .SRCINFO in the AUR .git repository which holds this package?

The installed icon filename and Icon field value of .desktop file differ, so the default icon is showing.

Please update this package to new Android Studio Electric Eel Canary. Thanks :)
