add android studio to PATH environmental variable?

Question

I looked around some sites and yielded no success. I tried to modify .bashrc:

# User specific aliases and functions
export PATH="~/android-studio/bin/:$PATH"

and after I typed studio.sh on the shell it says no such file or directory.

is studio.sh executeable? And did you re-source your bashrc (source ~/.bashrc). Lastly I normally use ${HOME} instead of ~ for my path variable. — Jacob Minshall, Feb 2, 2016 at 16:53
Yes, as I could run file/path/to/studio.sh to start up android studio. what do you mean by re-sourcing bashrc? — 夢のの夢, Feb 2, 2016 at 20:27
just type "source ~/.bashrc" After you change your bashrc, nothing happens. It only takes effect when you source it, which happens when you open a new terminal — Jacob Minshall, Feb 3, 2016 at 0:32

The issue in the question is the tilde, and the fact that it's not expanded to the home directory when it's quoted.

@Thomas How does a suggestion which solves the problem not provide an answer the question? Taking this to review is ridiculous.
