Hello world, Today I want to share with you how to create a desktop entry for an application in Ubuntu. For example: Android Studio 2.3.
1) You need to create a file named as xxx.desktop in /usr/share/applications/. Now, open Terminal:
$ sudo gedit /usr/share/applications/androidstudio.desktop
I am using gedit for copying easily.
2) Edit this file:
[Desktop Entry]
Version=2.3
Type=Application
Terminal=false
Name=Android Studio
Exec=/home/lampv/Documents/android-studio/bin/studio.sh
Icon=/home/lampv/Documents/android-studio/bin/studio.png
With:
Name: name for this desktop entry
Exec, Icon : path to execute file and icon for this.
3) Optional: set permission:
$ sudo chmod 644 /usr/share/applications/androidstudio.desktop
$ sudo chown root:root /usr/share/applications/androidstudio.desktop
