I've been using Android Studio for around a couple of weeks without any issues so far. But recently , I've started getting this error when I try to open Android Studio. I use Ubuntu 16.10.
Tools/android-studio/bin$ ./studio.sh
OpenJDK 64-Bit Server VM warning: ignoring option MaxPermSize=350m; support was removed in 8.0
Error: Could not find or load main class #
What am I doing wrong ? I've tried re-extracting android studio again. Still the same.
Some of your android studio configuration files are probably messed up. To fix this delete .android .AndroidStudio (might have a version number eg. .AndroidStudio2.3/).
To save time for beginners, they maybe directories and can to deleted using
rm -rf ~/.AndroidStudio*
rm -rf ~/.android*
PS: It makes sense to have a backup of every configuration file your use using a version control. saves me time and energy. Based on this
Either the file <your_installation_path>/android-studio/lib/bootstrap.jar
does not exist or has the wrong ownership.
Because the installation is located in your home directory, execute the following command that will give your user ownership:
sudo chown -R $USER:$USER <your_installation_path>/android-studio/
If that does not work, check if the file android-studio/lib/bootstrap.jar exists. If not, then download and extract the archive again.
.idea and .gradle folders from your project root.
