I want to open existing Android Studio Project without launching Android Studio with last closed project.

i.e When I launch Android Studio then it opens last closed project on it. Then I have to close it or go to
File menu -> Open -> Open File Or Project

Rather than i wants to open it from windows file explorer/finder or from terminal where project is stored. like Xcode, Unity and other IDE does.

Or we can say.

can we create a special Android Studio Launcher icon for separate Project in that project directory.

That isn't possible. Other IDE projects create a "project file" that associates the contents of the project to that specific IDE.

Netbeans for example is not one of those, and so is Android Studio.

There are only two ways to open a project for Android Studio.

Hopefully in the future they will implement a simpler way to do it!

  • is there any way when we launch Android Studio every time we get Open From the Studio project dialog i.e first one from link you provided – kartikag01 Dec 31 '15 at 06:33
  • Nope, that is an integrated function of the IDE, and not an external action. That wouldn't be possible. As I said, hopefully they being in ease of use later on but for now we cannot. Android Studio projects (like netbeans) are seen as the 'Entire' project folder, not just a single file like in VS for example. – TejjD Dec 31 '15 at 06:35

We can launch android's specific project in android studio from command line tool studio.

Go to directory where project is stored 

user@:~/AndroidStudioProjects$ studio MyProject

If the commands don't work you can run in Studio > "Tools" -> "Create Command Line Launcher..."
