I am trying to run the ReactNative client in an emulator on my laptop running Manjaro (an Arch Linux based distro). I am following the instructions in build.md, but on running npm run start-android with the emulator running I get the following output in the terminal:
[madguy@NoMansLand ReactNativeClient]$ npm run start-android

warning: the transform cache was reset.
Loading dependency graph, done.
And the emulator still shows nothing.
Can someone please help me out?
@tessus, can you help me out with this?
(Moved thread to Development)
I’m doing my development on macOS. The Linux I have available, is a headless server without DE, nor X11 or any other form of UI. I exclusively use the terminal version of Joplin on Linux.
Therefore my knowledge of the dev environment on Linux for the desktop and mobile apps is basically non-existent.
But there might be similarities which could help in narrowing down this problem.
When I start react-native run-android, all components are started automatically: the compile run, the metro server, the emulator. In the past, I had to start the emulator manually.
I’m missing the output where it tells you which emulator is used. Did you start the emulator by yourself?
At the end you should see something like this:

What is your output?
I did start the emulator by myself, So I will try running the command without the emulator running and report back.
I’ll be heading to bed, so don’t think I’ve abandoned you.
Ah, right. There is an 11 hour time zone difference
No, even without the emulator running, the output remains the same.
Btw, you use react-native run-android. Does that mean you have installed react-native globally?
Please when you ran react-native run-android did it install the app???
Before running react-native run-android start your emulator then run adb devices to see if your emulator is connected. when the app installs, do react-native start. Then open the app and double tap R on your keyboard to reload the app
How are you running react-native start-android? As far as I know you have to install the react-native-cli globally to run the previous command
Yeah you must set up react-native on your machine which involves installing the react-native-cli
No the app doesn’t install
Have you followed the react-native setup ?
Yes I have followed the instructions on that page
Yes, react-native-cli@2.0.1.
@benndip to whom was the question directed? You either have to click the reply for a specific post or mention the person you are addressing.
When I run it, the app gets automatically installed.
This is all that I get:

Please can someone help me out? I am being unable to do any development/bug fix which involves the android client thanks to this…
It’s the complete output?
You can also try to build and run manually:
- Start the emulator
cd android && ./gradlew installDebugcd ReactNativeClient && npm start
Yes that is all the output that is produced. I will try the manual build you suggested.
