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.

I had the same issue and solved it by adding the following line to my .bashrc

export PATH="/usr/local/android-studio/bin:$PATH"

NOTE

  • /usr/local/android-studio/bin is the directory that has studio.sh on my machine. I followed the official install instructions. The directory may be different for you.
  • For some reason this wouldn't work when I had put $PATH at the beginning, so if it's not working for you then try putting $PATH at the end of the string like I did here.
