Answer 5

I tried in this way:

1. Open Android Studio, then Click Tools->Android->AVD Manager, as shown:

2. Choose your virtual devices, then click edit this AVD,

3. In Virtual Device Configuration, click Show Advanced Settings, scroll down to find Keyboard, then check Enable keyboard input checkbox, then click Finish button.

4. Launch this AVD in emulator.

5. In Terminal, in your react native project directory, run "react-native run-android".

6. Your will see your app will be running in your emulator, if you want to reload the project, you could double tap R(you should type it very quickly, otherwise it may not reload js) or you can type command+M, then you choose Reload. Hope this will help. Cheers
