- Start Android Studio (setup using https://reactnative.dev/docs/environment-setup for Andorid/Windows)
- Open AVD Manager (Icon-Bar on the right; Icon "Small Smartphone" with green android head)
- Start virtual device (create a new virtual device if there is none yet)
- Change into this directory and execute the following
$ npx react-native run-android
This should open an additional console window which runs react-native-cli start and it should install and open the app in your virtual device.
