Please read the issue guidelines and do not type the whole issue in the title!
That said, I'd say the issue is that you're running umake with sudo.
Try running "umake android android-studio"

sorry i am new in open source and programming,,, i wrote the following command in the terminal to install android studio $ sudo umake android-studio, after the installation is done the terminal give me that error dconf-WARNING **: failed to commit changes to dconf: Cannot spawn a message bus when setuid.

No problem, it's just that the title is really long and the body of the issue contains only the template.
Do you need to install in a system directory? If you don't you can just run without sudo (the "intended" way)

[LyzardKing]

I changed the title and copied the error message in the body of the issue, if something is wrong let me know.
What version of umake are you running (run umake --version)

[yehia67]

17.03

Did you try installing without sudo? or do you need android-studio to be in a system directory?

[LyzardKing]

If you do you can try this, but I'm not sure it'll work: #79 (comment)

umake is mainly meant to install in the user directory (without sudo)

[yehia67]

i need it to be in system directory

[LyzardKing]

The issue might be that it can't switch user when it needs to install the requirements...
You could try and install them manually, then try again.
The requirements are:
"openjdk-7-jdk or openjdk-8-jdk", "libncurses5:i386", "libstdc++6:i386", "zlib1g:i386"
Sorry, I'm not sure what the solution is.
If you try these let me know

Closing.
Please open if this needs more work.
