| # Guide for setting up a separate profile for Android Studio |
| |
| It can be helpful to have a separate profile of Android Studio when |
| working on AndroidX as we use prebuilts of an SDK instead of public SDK. |
| Launching Studio with a custom idea.properties files allows to |
| have a separate profile of Android Studio for work with AndroidX. |
| |
| To use this launch Studio with setting STUDIO_PROPERTIES env variable to point |
| to idea.properties in this checkout that sets custom `idea.config.path` and |
| `idea.system.path`. `sample-androidx-canary.desktop` is an example Linux desktop |
| shortcut entry. |
