Requested Attachments

1. Android SDK Link From Android Studio

2. SDK Tools Installed

3. npx @react-native-community/cli doctor Result

Installed Android Emulator Nexus 6P (Android R and Pie)

New To React Native it works perfectly on iOS but it fails to launch in Android Simulator

Tried Ways

1. npm start
2. npx react-native run-ios
3. npx react-native run-android

Answer 1

It is Probably because of JDK version as mention above. You can verify by running react native doctor

npx @react-native-community/cli doctor

Answer 2

Install JDK 1.8 and setup $JAVA_HOME env variable and try to run the app again.

The error is due to lower version of JDK or JDK not installed.

Answer 3

your problem can be resolved just follow these steps: To jetify / convert node_modules dependencies to AndroidX Imagine you have a react-native project. One of your library dependencies converts to AndroidX., and you need to use the new version.

So now you need to convert your app to AndroidX, but many of your react-native libraries ship native Java code and have not updated. How is this done?

First, use Android Studio's refactoring tool to convert your app re: the Android developer docs npm install --save-dev jetifier npx jetify npx react-native run-android (your app should correctly compile and work) Call npx jetify run in the postinstall target of your package.json (Any time your dependencies update you have to jetify again

you can follow this link as well: https://www.npmjs.com/package/jetifier

feel free for any confusion.

Answer 4

This link is the complete solution but here is a little problem if you have win32 but if you have win64 you are good to go.

 **https://www.npmjs.com/package/jetifier#do_you_need_this**

hope this answer will be useful for you feel free for any problem.

Answer 5

The error is due to the version of JDK or JDK not installed.

i think you need to solve in the section:

open the androind folder with android studio

then file-> project structure -> SDK location and in here you can change, in my case i change the version

before that, for to know what was the error:

i realized what is the problem with this command

npx @react-native-community/cli doctor

i got these errors:

Please make changes as per below to resolve this error.
