'Configure CAPACITOR_ANDROID_STUDIO_PATH environment variable on windows machine using WSL Ubuntu

I have a ionic angular application. When I run 'ionic capacitor build android' from WSL

I get the following errors:

[INFO] Ready for use in your Native IDE!

       To continue, build your project using Android Studio!

> capacitor open android
[capacitor] [error] Unable to launch Android Studio. Is it installed?
[capacitor]         Attempted to open Android Studio at: /usr/local/android-studio/bin/studio.sh
[capacitor]         You can configure this with the CAPACITOR_ANDROID_STUDIO_PATH environment variable.

I have android studio installed and additionally have set the system env variable for CAPACITOR_ANDROID_STUDIO_PATH with the path to its windows location.

I have also tried the suggested fixes on here CAPACITOR_ANDROID_STUDIO_PATH environment variable in Ionic 5 which also doesn't work

Wondering if anyone can help

Thanks

Had the exact same error. My Android Studio is at a different location as I use the snap.

So first figure out where studio is:

which android-studio

And then add the variable to your .bashrc (or e.g. .zshrc):

echo export CAPACITOR_ANDROID_STUDIO_PATH="/snap/bin/android-studio" >> ~/.bashrc

Restart your terminal and it should work.

Here's what I did:

Step 1: Identity the location of your studio.sh

There could be a lot of location where it's location. For me, I installed Android Studio from Ubuntu Software where the installed location is in

/snap/android-studio/current/android-studio/bin/studio.sh

Step 2: Add to Environment variable

vim ~/.bashrc

Then append this line with your location of studio.sh like this:

export CAPACITOR_ANDROID_STUDIO_PATH="/snap/android-studio/current/android-studio/bin/studio.sh"

Step 3: Restart terminal or type in $ source ~/.bashrc

I hope this helps.
