Description Uladzimir Bely 2017-11-13 07:48:36 UTC 
During Android studio installation there is a desktop icon created. But it cannot be grouped with application icon in taskbar in such DE's like Unity, Plasma, maybe others.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Install (emerge) any Android studio version
2. Launch it. The icon will appear in taskbar (in Plasma, Unity, etc..)
3. Lock the icon to taskbar (via pop-up menu)
Actual Results:  
Locked icon can't be used as launcher icon (it just tries to run java)

Expected Results:  
Locked icon can be used as launcher icon

The problem is because .desktop file for Android Studio doesn't defines StartupWMClass property.

Some discussion about the issue is here: https://askubuntu.com/questions/367396/what-represent-the-startupwmclass-field-of-a-desktop-file

The solution:

Use in ebuild's:

  make_desktop_entry ${PN} "Android Studio" ${PN} "Development;IDE" "StartupWMClass=jetbrains-studio"

instead of:

  make_desktop_entry ${PN} "Android Studio" ${PN} "Development;IDE"

in src_install() function.
