Android Studio comes with JRE and the tarball they provide is supposed to work on both amd64 and i386 unchanged.
I will download a i386 image now and run Android Studio directly from the source they provide (I believe that will definitely work).
Well … it may have been built by BSI but it wasn’t uploaded to the store by BSI/Launchpad.
print(sorted(build.store_upload_revision for build in lp.load('~build.snapcraft.io/+snap/125825f60ca4a81dbf25024d40e45f87-xenial').completed_builds if build.store_upload_revision))
[16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 26, 29, 30]So I just tried Ubuntu 16.04 i386 in a VM and I get the exact same error from non-snap install as well. So It seems Google only cares about 64bit users so only ships 64bit JRE with source.
Shall we only support Android Studio on 64bit machines for now ?
The updated snap only builds for 64bit installs, so the above issue won’t happen.
I have installed android studio from snap on different distro over the past few month and so far so good. Lets move this to stable now (revision 34 that is).

I have version 3.1.0.16 (35) on Ubuntu 17.10, amd64 but I can’t launch any AVD. Whichever device configuration I choose, any attempt to start the emulator just gives:

I don’t know. Android Studio uses classic confinement so it shouldn’t have any OpenGL restrictions?

No, not really. Its a known issue with Android Studio and linux, please try to export ANDROID_EMULATOR_USE_SYSTEM_LIBS=1 in your environment and that should fix it.
Try in a terminal
ANDROID_EMULATOR_USE_SYSTEM_LIBS=1 android-studio
If that fixes it, you need to add that variable to a more permanent place.

Yes, this does the trick. Thank you so much for the solution.
IMO the snap package should be updated to include this in its launch script.

Today I installed this on my fresh 18.04 install and I got from zero to having an app in the review queue on Google Play in under 5 hours. Everything just worked. The only problem was the emulator crash described above, but I could just test on real hardware. Excellent stuff. I’m also enjoying the intellij and pycharm snaps.

Where is ANDROID_HOME for the snap?
