How do I load React Native Project in Android Studio with an emulator?

Question

My react native project is failing to launch in Android Studio. I am running Metro (ran command line 'npx react-native start' in the project root directory) but the below message appears.

I am able to launch the project with no issues using terminal with the command line 'npx react-native run-android'.

Can someone please assist? I would like to run my project using the emulator in Android Studio and not via terminal.

steps to run react-native project in android studio.

step 1: npm start --reset-cache (it will pop-out a terminal for js-bundling).

step 2: open project root android folder in android studio.

step 3: wait until build project && if you get any error then resolve it.
