When the latest stable version of Android Studio will be released?

Could you fix this nasty bug?
Thanks! ;)

Please add information about where this will install android studio - will it be in /opt?
Thanks!

Hi @mfonville,
thank you so much for your awesome and extremely useful PPA! 👍
Do you know if @google has an own PPA for Android Studio or if it will become part of the official @ubuntu one? I do not want to say that I do not trust you, but something official would be sweet though... 🤔

The whole software installed into /opt world-writeable in order the Auto-Updater to work. What is the point using Auto-Updater if you package a software by your self.

This not only contradicts FSH but is a security issue in general. Please remove the CHMODs in postinstall.

I recently clean install linux mint and I notice when I install this ppa, it's install ibm java. I wonder why not using open-jdk?

after following the steps (add/update), when install, got the following error on kubuntu 16.04 lts:

`root@derek-linux:/home/derek/Downloads# apt-fast install android-studio-beta android-studio-canary

Working... this may take a while.

new URLs:

https://developer.android.com/studio/archive.html

proposed strategy:

• fetch and parse https://developer.android.com/studio/archive.html
• search for div with itemprop=articleBody
• fetch children that are section with class="expandable", the value in id= is a descriptive tagname of the release, if class also contains stable it is a stable release (otherwise a preview)
• fetch its child that is div with class="downloads"
• fetch a child that is a with `href="*-linux.zip"
• search the SHA-256 Checksums for the entry that contains the linux zip.

Can you add the Canary version, please? Thanks!

The current version in PPA is rather outdated.

Thanks.

Tried to install android-studio from your PPA on an ubuntu 16.04 xenial, which failed with error message subprocess pre-installation script returned error exit status 1

Turns out the script tries to download to /opt which doesn't necessarily exist. Maybe /tmp would be a better idea, maybe there's a packaging guideline for this?
