The source URL now points to a different version of Android Studio. The URL from the Android Studio download archives website is slightly different, the line below would also have been valid: `ARG studio_source=https://redirector.gvt1.com/edgedl/android/studio/ide-zips/2020.3.1.26/android-studio-2020.3.1.26-linux.tar.gz` Sources: Android Studio download archives | Android Developers https://developer.android.com/studio/archive

Can you explain the reason behind these changes?

Most of the changes are reflective of how the Android Studio binaries are located in my local installation, e.g. -v ~/.AndroidStudio.sdk:/home/developer/Android/Sdk, so you may overlook or rename accordingly. I found some of the mounts to be unnecessary, like -v ~/.AndroidStudio:/home/developer/.AndroidStudio and -v ~/.AndroidStudio.android:/home/developer/.android. The most important volume mount is -v ~/.AndroidStudio.config:/home/developer/.config, I noticed that it makes the configuration after first startup more persistent.

Did you mean to point this at your DockerHub account?

Yes, because I uploaded the Arctic Fox image on my account.

That makes sense. I'd perhaps propose archiving this repo with some pointers to your repo if you'd be interested in maintaining this image? I no longer do Android dev, so it's unlikely I'll bump this often...
What do you think? If you're happy with that, perhaps replace this PR with one that changes the Readme only to clearly point to your repo, and we could get that in (and then I could archive this repo)

Thanks a lot for looking into this! I haven't used AndroidStudio in a long while, which is why this hasn't been updated. I left some comments for clarification please, and I expect you tested this build locally? |

This line makes the initial configuration of the IDE persistent across restarts.

You can use your own local directory names

The persistence of the Android Studio configuration is improved running the new command. However, there seems to be a bug in the new version as I cannot type
ENTERon the Android Studio terminal. I'm not sure whether this is a bug with the Android Studio version or something else.I included the previous version in the Docker builds and tagged on GitHub as appropriate.
