Windows 10 WSL2 expo cannot find simulated android device from Android Studio - react-native

I am new to android development and am trying to learn react-native by following a tutorial here. The problem is whenever I try to start my react-native project within my simulated android device, expo cli cannot find it. This step is at the 25 minute mark of the video and my progress can be summarized as follows:
I have react-native on my machine and have installed expo cli
I've downloaded Android Studio which is located: C:\Users..\AppData\Local\Android\Sdk
I have my emulated android device up and running via Virtual Device
Manager
After typinng "npm start" When I type "a" within the terminal of WSL to run this app on my virtual android device I get the following message when it tries to open the emulator:
No Android connected device found, and no emulators could be started
automatically. Please connect a device or create an emulator
(https://docs.expo.dev/workflow/android-studio-emulator).
At which point my expo developer tools browser window displays that
Expo Developer Tools is disconnected from Expo CLI. Use the expo start
command to start the CLI again
When I goto the terminal and do this, it just restarts this failure over again when I type "a" to start my app in the simulated android device. Some of the solutions I've tried are:
following the documentation on the workflow android studio emulator link. I find though that all of the options within my version of android studio look drastically different, and that my file location is much different than what they have listed.
uninstalling and reinstalling Android Studio
Making sure SDK tools is checked as per this stack overflow post
following the instructions in this stack overflow post, however I am not trying to connect a phone via usb so this does not help me.
My setup is as follows:
OS: Windows 10
VM: WSL2 Ubuntu 20.04.3 LTS
Text Editor: Visual Studio Code 1.63.2
Android Studio: BumbleBee 2021.1.1
Expo CLI version: 5.0.3
here are some screen shots:
^ that one is right before I try to type "a" within the expo cli within terminal.

After updating to Expo SDK 41 from Expo SDK 40, Android Studio won't start emulator

I go to start emulator on my mac m1 and it'll bring up the phone emulator however my project is not uploaded to the phone.
I am getting this error in the terminal:
› Opening on Android...

This download is taking longer than expected. You can also try downloading the clients from the website at https://expo.dev/tools

The ios emulator seems to be working fine
I just solved this issue for myself, it appears your emulator doesn't have enough storage assigned to it.
Here's how you can increase the storage on your emulator
For my emulator I increased the device Internal Storage to 8GB and enabled No SDCard. This has allowed me to emulate my expo react-native app on Android while running on my M1 silicon chip MacBook.

Expo-react-native :Couldn't adb reverse: device 'adb' not found

I am using react-native-expo for mobile app development.
I use an android emulator for the app, vscode editor for development.
It started showing me this error from few days.
› Opening on Android...
Couldn't adb reverse: device 'adb' not found
› Opening exp://10.0.46.81:19000 on Device adb
Couldn't start project on Android: Error running adb: device 'adb' not found
› Press ? │ show all commands
I tried wiping the emulator, tapping on the build number in the emulator, but nothing worked out.
I've deleted the virtual devices and created new one. It worked for one time and again this process isn't working.
there isn't much about this on the internet.
need help.
Just try this. It is work for me.
make sure you already add android sdk path in setting > appearance & behavior > system settings > android SDK > android SDK location
(Common path is C:\Users(name)\AppData\Local\Android\Sdk)
create new variable name and value in Environment Variables (User Variables)
(ANDROID_HOME C:\Users(name)\AppData\Local\Android\Sdk)
add new Path in Environment Variables (User Variables)
(C:\Users(name)\AppData\Local\Android\Sdk\platform-tools)
It is work for me after I have solved it for 3 hours.
At first, I don't face the problem like this in flutter but in react-native.
The fix for me was to install the SDK Platform for the android version used by the AVD.
In my case, I installed android v9 (Pie) via the AVD Manager when setting up my AVD for the first time, and when I looked into this issue I noticed that the SDK Platform for v9 was not installed as part of that setup.
The exact steps I took are as follows:
Disclaimer: You might not need to follow these steps exactly to resolve the issue
Close all CMD and IDE programs.
Open Android Studio and navigate to AVD Manager
Click the down arrow for the target AVD and click the Edit option
Set the device to Cold boot instead of Quick boot
Open SDK Manager, and download the SDK Platform for android version used by AVD
Go back to AVD Manager, click the Cold boot now option
Open a CMD terminal as administrator, CD to project repo, and run expo start
Launch expo in AVD
DONE
I had the same problem. Emulator started working after this:
Delete caches from Android Studio
Wipe data from your emulator
Cold boot to restart
When I was solving this problem I also ended up doing these:
Check Android studio updates
Reinstalled Android studio
Check SDK updates from SDK tools: SDK Manager -> Android SDK -> SDK tools. You can see if there is a new update available on the right.
Go to Virtual Device Manager -> Select your Device -> Actions -> Click "Drop down" button and select "Cold Boot Now".
This worked for me.
For my case, I went to the avd and simply clicked "wipe data", restarted both my avd and server and it worked
By my side the problem was is In Internet Connection. I just changed the WiFi and everything working fine.

Expo can't connect to android-studio emulator (Ubuntu 20.04)

When I run "npm start" and then 'a'/ "sudo expo start --android" the connection to the android emulator fails.
the error I get is:
Couldn't start project on Android: Error running adb: No Android connected device found, and no emulators could be started automatically.
Please connect a device or create an emulator (https://docs.expo.io/workflow/android-studio-emulator).
Then follow the instructions here to enable USB debugging:
https://developer.android.com/studio/run/device.html#developer-device-options. If you are using Genymotion go to Settings -> ADB, select "Use custom Android SDK tools", and point it at your Android SDK directory.
While trying to debug it I found:
The app is running on web browser
While launching the AVD on emulator on android-studio I get on android studio events:
Emulator: E0810 10:41:04.480101550 89662 socket_utils_common_posix.cc:201] check for SO_REUSEPORT: {"created":"#1597045264.480085451","description":"SO_REUSEPORT unavailable on compiling system","file":"/mnt/tmpfs/src/android/emu-master-dev/external/grpc/src/core/lib/iomgr/socket_utils_common_posix.cc","file_line":169}
I Made sure that .bashrc includes the right SDK path: "export ANDROID_SDK=/home/user/Android/Sdk", and followed this link
I'll mention that the emulator already ran my app, I'm not sure what changed the configuration and made the app not running on android-studio emulator. I re-install android-studio but it's still have no connction

Could not install the app on the device - react native on windows 10

Everytime I try to launch a react native project I got this error
Could not install the app on the device, read the error above for
details. Make sure you have an Android emulator running or a device
connected and have set up your Android development environment
I reinstalled nodejs, python and jdk using choco as suggested on official docs. Every single packages is installed as well as sdk 23.0.1
I can see my virtual device if I run adb devices USB debugging is activated and it's running android 6.
I setup ANDROID_HOME path in environment variables, I'm using same sdk path as you can see in the picture. I also setup another one for JAVA_HOME and Python.
My PATH looks like this:
I just don't understand what I'm supposed to do. I'm using a surface pro 4, Windows 10. I can run projects using expo. I literally tried everything, restart computer, start cmd using admin, create new virtual devices, uninstall everything and start from scratch, it just don't work.
You have pointed out two issues; first, make sure you have an android emulator running. To do that, you run adb devices and you say you can see you device.
The other issue is with the environment. To make sure your environment is setup properly for android, go to the root of your react-native project. Open the android project using android studio.
All errors with your environment will show up, use the automatic fixes provided by android studio. Clean the project in android studio. Close studio and go back to command line, run react-native run-android
Everything should work now.
When doing react-native start it will intentionally hang at "Loading dependency graph" (its not really hanging, its just waiting to receive build/bundle signals). This is correct. You have to open a second terminal then do react-native run-android.
If you get errors, then cd android in your project folder then run ./gradlew clean, then after that do another react-native start then react-native run-android.
Solution is to delete all java JDK and reinstall v8 / change JAVA_HOME to the new path.
Also changing gradle-wrapper.propertiesfile for each project you want to run
# update gradle to latest version
distributionUrl=https\://services.gradle.org/distributions/gradle-4.4.1-all.zip
Sometimes it dosen't compile with v4 so I have to use v3. React native is definitely confusing.
after install dan update environment JDK now I can install app on my device

React Native Not Running projects that I copied from Windows machine to Ubuntu

I just moved to Ubuntu from Windows 10, I have installed react-native on my laptop and everytime I do react-native init it creates a project as expected. react-native run-android & react-native start commands are working as you'd expect them to be.
My main problem is I just copied a react native project from my Windows 10 machine to Ubuntu and now everytime I do react-native run-android This is the error I see on my console
This is the error I see on my console

Could not install the app on the device, read the error above for details.
Make sure you have an Android emulator running or a device connected and have set up your Android development environment:
https://facebook.github.io/react-native/docs/android-setup.html
The problem was the React Native project was created in Windows and I was trying to run it in a Linux based platform. So what I did was I created a brand new project in my Linux environment and copied my RN code in the newly created project.
This was I believe due to the android file it created which is platform dependent. Windows and Linux have different GRADLE files. I hope this helps anyone who is having this issue.
Seems like it is not recognizing your device/emulator. Run "adb devices" to check. I guess you did the whole Android setup and installed Android Studio (SDK).
