any idea how to fix this problem? I tried to unset Display or export Display:=0 and I did not get any solution

Answer 1

Fedora 25 is not using XOrg anymore by default. We moved to Wayland and Java probably does not handle that. It would be nice to report the problem to Android Studio developers (not here).

Anyway, you can workaround it by running Fedora using old X. Select the "GNOME on XOrg when logging into your account:

Answer 2

I got the below issue because of running as a root user. Once I exit from the root user and tried ./studio.sh it worked perfectly :)
