I'm struggling with HiDPI support of Android Studio 2.1.3 for Linux Mint. What I know it should be possible to enable Android Studio's HiDPI support by adding -Dhidpi=true flag to /opt/android-studio/bin/studio64.vmoptions Unfortunately it doesn't change anything on my machine, the UI is still very small.

I had the same problem, and I did not manage to "enable" hidpi for Android Studio.
Therefore, I run Android Studio like so:
$ xrandr --dpi 192; android-studio&
Or whatever you prefer instead of 192, of course.

1Worked fine with 2.1.3 and 2.2. Thank you, great answer! – tomrozb Oct 03 '16 at 03:55

1That's a wonderful tip: can't believe I never thought to set DPI on a per-process basis. – Rich Churcher Feb 06 '17 at 23:10

For me on an XPS (I think it has a 4K resolution) I had to use `xrandr --dpi 288` to fix the scaling, otherwise most (but not all) elements were not scaled. – Johann Philipp Strathausen Jan 06 '19 at 19:38

2It should have HiDPI support since 2.1 but it doesn't work without workarounds, like the one provided by JonesV – tomrozb Nov 29 '16 at 00:42
