• The easiest way to set up the application and join the development is to use Android Studio.
• By using Android Studio you do not have to mess with:
• Gradle
• failed to find Build Tools revision 23.0.1
• Failed to resolve: com.android.support:appcompat-v7:23.0.3

yaourt -S jre jdk android-studio

Add the following lines to your .bashrc and restart your terminal once.

export ANDROID_HOME=~/Android/Sdk
export PATH=~/Android/Sdk/platform-tools:$PATH

If you are using dwm - or other window managers, and you'd like to run Java application that has a UI, you'll have to add (sleep 4 && wmname LG3D) & to your .xinitrc just before exec dwm.

Open Android Studio. Go to Tools / Android / AVD Manager. Create and start your emulated device.

npm install react-native-cli -g

react-native init ProjectNameHere

git clone git@github.com:szilveszter9/react-native-starter-kit.git ReactNativeStarterKit
cd ReactNativeStarterKit
npm install
# use npm3

cd ReactNativeStarterKit
mkdir dist -p
react-native bundle --platform android --entry-file index.android.js --bundle-output dist/bundle.js

cd ReactNativeStarterKit
react-native run-ios

• or use Xcode and open the project file ReactNativeStarterKit/ios/ReactNativeStarterKit.xcodeproj

Have an Android emulator running, or a device connected. Otherwise you will get com.android.builder.testing.api.DeviceException: No connected devices See Requirements.

cd ReactNativeStarterKit
react-native run-android

# some cases you will need to run
react-native start

# open localhost:8081 to check whether is responding at all
