I recently installed easystroke on my Ubuntu 14.04 LTS system. I want to add a shortcut stroke for the same. Can you guys tell me what command to use? location of android studio is

/home/antony/Documents/Android Studio Installation Files/android-studio/bin/studio.sh

for other apps like firefox i use

 wmctrl -a Firefox || firefox

but this does not work for android studio

also

xdg-open of /home/....

opens the bash file in text editor instead of terminal..

With this command:

wmctrl -a "Android Studio" || "/home/antony/Documents/Android Studio Installation Files/android-studio/bin/studio.sh"

Use the full path with double quotes.

from man wmctrl

   -a <WIN>
          Switch to the desktop containing the window <WIN>, raise the window, and  give  it
          focus.


   <WIN>  This argument specifies a window that is the target of an action. By  default  the
          argument  is  treated  as  if were a string, and windows are examined until one is
          found with a title the contains the specified string as a substring. The substring
          matching  is done in a case insensitive manner. The -F option may be used to force
          exact, case sensitive title matching. The option -i may be used to  interpret  the
          window target as a numeric window identity instead of a string.

for some weird reason it didn work at first . now it works like a charm. — Chris Aby Antony, Jul 01 '15 at 09:51
