Android Studio 4.0 has serious issues with Sway

[ardevd]

Android Studio 4.0 was released a few days ago and I'm having serious issues when using it with Swaywm.

Any dialog og popup is instantly dismissed, and no code auto completion works either which seems to be part of the same problem. This is probably more an issue with Android Studio than Sway but I'm hoping someone here might have a fix or a workaround.

Is this Sway 1.4 or Sway master?

Sway 1.4.

Also, note that everything was working fine until Android Studio was updated to v4.0

UPDATE: It works fine in Gnome on Wayland.

Please try Sway master, as two related changes went in last week. In general, this is a duplicate of #3007.

Actually, that's not enough. Android Studio still bundles a Java 1.8 JRE, but there are fixes included in later JRE versions. Android Studio 4.0 works correctly for me with latest Sway/wlroots master, starting with:

$ STUDIO_JDK=/usr/lib/jvm/java-11-openjdk-amd64/ /opt/android-studio/bin/studio.sh

I am using STUDIO_JDK=/usr/lib/jvm/java-14-openjdk /usr/bin/android-studio and it does fix the dissapearing popups, however it does bring in some instabilities, such as IDE seg. fault when opening an android layout (.xml) file.
Do you also experience the same issue with the java 11 amd64 sdk?

Also, I think this issue is a duplicate of #3007 (comment). Nevertheless, that issue is a bit of a catch-all for all jetbrains IDEs.

I didn't notice any crashes while creating a sample project (including opening some layout XML files), but I also can't say I use Android Studio for anything. I only use PyCharm and CLion daily; both bundle Java 11 and work well enough.

I've added a note about working around this to the wiki: https://github.com/swaywm/sway/wiki#issues-with-jetbrains-ide-popupsmenus-losing-focus

Thanks to @matteocrippa

This solved it for me #3007 (comment)

I've tried with openjdk 11 and 14 but android studio crashes and only works with openjdk 8

Android Studio 4.2 uses JDK 11 by default and works much better with sway (1.5).

Not working, latest Sway on Ubuntu 22.04 LTS on Wayland. I only have JDK 11, tried suggested solution, grey screen after the initial splash screen.

EDIT: fixed following this solution https://stackoverflow.com/questions/33424736/intellij-idea-14-on-arch-linux-opening-to-grey-screen/34419927#34419927
