How to Install Android Studio on Ubuntu 14.04

Followings are steps needed to install Android Studio on Ubuntu 14.04:

There are some tutorials that suggest the installation using PPA. However, sometime it does not work because the PPA listed is no longer available or for any other reasons. In this post, I write manual way for installation. This way is much safer and more guarantee that it will work. Please let me know if you have any problem.

Preparation
If you run 64-bit ubuntu, install the following packages first. If you run 32-bit, you may skip this step and go to the next step
$ sudo apt-get install lib32z1 lib32ncurses5 lib32bz2-1.0 lib32stdc++6
Download JDK from Oracle
You can download from their website. When I write this post, the download page is located here. However, they may move the download page. In case you don't find in that link, you can ask Google to find the download page for you.

Extract JDK
You can use Files Manager or use terminal. If you want to use terminal, you can use this command:
$ tar xzf jdk-8u92-linux-x64.tar.gz
Install JDK 
Install jdk into /usr/bin
$ update-alternatives --install /usr/bin/java java /home/arwan/Downloads/jdk1.8.0_92/bin/java 100

$ update-alternatives --install /usr/bin/javac javac /home/arwan/Downloads/jdk1.8.0_92/bin/javac 100

Check if java has been installed
$ java -version

Download Android Studio
You can download Android studio here.

Extract Android Studio
$ unzip android-studio-ide-143.2821654-linux.zip

Move all android-studio folder to /usr/local
$ mv /home/arwan/Downloads/android-studio /usr/local

Install Android Studio
$ /usr/local/android-studio/bin/studio.sh
Next, just follow the steps until your Android Studio is installed.

Akte, paspor, dan visa untuk anak Indonesia yang lahir di Malaysia

Alhamdulillah, akhirnya urusan administrasi kenegaraan-nya Marwa sudah hampir selesai. Kemarin sore, di paspor marwa sudah ada visa pelancong selama 30 hari, tinggal nunggu proses di Putrajaya selama 7 hari untuk mendapatkan Multiple Entry-nya. Selepas itu, selesai.... Di dalam tulisan ini, saya pengen sedikit cerita pengalaman saya mengurus administrasi untuk anak Indonesia yang lahir di Malaysia (saya tidak tahu apakah untuk di negara lain prosedurnya juga sama). #1. Administrasi di klinik terdekat (sebelum melahirkan) Sebelum istri melahirkan, istri disarankan untuk mendaftar dan memeriksakan kandungannya secara rutin di klinik terdekat (meskipun hanya klinik, tapi fasilitas pemeriksaan dan labnya cukup lengkap dan canggih). Pada fase ini, istri akan diberi buku pemeriksaan. Buku ini penting untuk mengetahui kondisi si ibu, dan perkembangan janin. Buku ini akan diisi oleh dokter atau perawat yang memeriksa kandungan. #2. Administrasi setelah melahirkan Di klinik biasanya tid...

Find JIRA issues mentioned in Confluence Page

I have been walking through a lot of pages in internet but have not found any answer except one. However, the answer is not complete, so I will share my experience here. This feature is very useful, especially to summarize the issues found during certain tests, where the tests are reported in a confluence page. I found that there are so many questions about this, but Atlassian seems does not want to bother with this request. I found one way to do this by the following tricks Take one JIRA issue that related to the target confluence page (in this case, say it is GET-895) Find the global ID of a JIRA issue: http://bach.dc1.scram.com:8080/rest/api/latest/issue/GET-895/remotelink It will show the JSON like this: [{"id":28293,"self":"http://bach.dc1.scram.com:8080/rest/api/latest/issue/GET-895/remotelink/28293","globalId":"appId=662e1ccf-94da-3121-96ae-053d90587b29&pageId=105485659","application":{...

Android studio in ubuntu - problem: 'tools.jar' seems to be not in Android Studio classpath. Please ensure JAVA_HOME points to JDK rather than JRE.

I love coding, especially Java. Because Android apps is written in Java, I would love to make one as well. Unfortunately, when I tried to install Android Studio on my Ubuntu yesterday, I got this error message: 'tools.jar' seems to be not in Android Studio classpath. Please ensure JAVA_HOME points to JDK rather than JRE. When I google on this error, there are so many websites and forums discuss about this error as well as the solutions. However, in linux (or ubuntu in my case), sometime we have different environment so that the solution will not always work (sometimes we have to do another thing before or after that solution). And this also happen in this case. Here are what I did then: 1. Know what exactly the problem is: the problem is that the JAVA_HOME in my system did not point to JDK. Instead, it points to a JRE. JRE can only be used to run java applications, not to build them. 2. Check the java path used by the system. In terminal, I typed the following: ...
