Try these steps.

1. Delete node modules folder in your project.
2. Delete build folder in android/build
3. Close all running terminals.
4. Make sure you have installed adb drivers in your environment. If not install adb drivers. ( For macOS / For Windows )
5. Open new terminal window and in your project folder run npm install to re-install node modules.

If you are using Android Studio, make sure you run the emulator before running the commands and the emulator API level matches the targetSdk (build.gradle).
