Android Studio does not install a desktop file

[colonelpanic8]

@primeos Was this on purpose? Would you mind if I added one?

I suppose that was not by purpose. I would like if you add a pr that adds the desktop file :)

[primeos]

Yes, this wasn't on purpose (I tend to miss such things, as I'm using i3).

If you need an example you can have a look at the desktop file from the Arch package:

[Desktop Entry]
Version=1.0
Type=Application
Name=Android Studio
Exec=android-studio %f
Icon=android-studio
Comment=The official Android IDE
Categories=Development;IDE;
Terminal=false
StartupNotify=true
StartupWMClass=jetbrains-studio
MimeType=application/x-extension-iml;

And you can use the icon from bin/studio.png:

  # Add the icon and desktop file
  install -Dm644 bin/studio.png $pkgdir/usr/share/pixmaps/$pkgname.png
  install -Dm644 $srcdir/$pkgname.desktop $pkgdir/usr/share/applications/$pkgname.desktop

I assume the name of the files should depend on the channel (stable, beta, dev, canary) to avoid collisions. It would probably be the best to pass an additional attribute channel to mkStudio.

A PR would be very welcome :)

I use a tiling wm with no DE as well (xmonad), but it's still useful to have desktop files for things like rofi (provides launcher icons wm class name at startup etc.)
