With those things in place, let’s run the React Native project in the same way as I described in my last blog, and what happened was: Let’s launch Genymotion Device Manager from Android Studio, and start the newly created Google Nexus, after few minutes, it is all setup. I also reduced the number of CPU processors and memory as my computer is sort of lame. I chose Google Nexus 5, which runs Android 6.0.0:Īt least in my case, it is necessary to change the Network mode to Bridge. This is where your account comes into play, you need to log in an activated account to be able to see the of the available devices shown in the above screenshot. I did that in Genymotion its own window, rather than the manager launched from AS. Let’s put the details of that in the next step.

So, we need to create a new device with Android 6.

However, the HTC One device runs Android 4.4.4, which seems not to support React Native, remember from the last blog that we have installed Android 6 particularly for React Native support. Now, we can create and start device from Genymotion Device Manager, to test it, I just pick one from the previously created devices, and srart it:Īnd if we run the Android native app from Andriod Studio (remember I created one when first time opening up AS), we can choose the running device now, which means AS are connected to the virtual devices: We have done with AS settings, and now go to the setting of Genymotion, we also need to update the Android Studio SDK path in Genymotion’s setting panel: If you install Genymotion after AS, you won’t see that and don’t need to bother with that. It asks me to provide the installation path of Genymotion: Type in ‘genym…’ to search the plugin for it, and install it:Īfter installation, restart Android Studio, and you would see the button of Genymotion, besides, you can also press CTRL+SHIFT+A and type in genymotion to launch Genymotion device manager:Īs I said above, I installed Genymotion before, and I just re-installed AS, so AS is not aware of Genymotion anymore, therefore in my case, after opening up the Genymotion Device Manager, I saw this dialog:

In the panel, go to ‘Plugins’, and click ‘Browse repositories’ Step 2: Configure Android Studio & Genymotion In that case, if you don’t want to wipe everything and re-install them, you can follow my instructions at the end of the blog. However, if you have installed Genymotion, like me, and it does not work with the updated Android Studio. Just keep in mind that you should choose the installation file with VirtualBox – the bigger one. If you have never installed Genymotion or Oracle VM VirtualBox before, you can refer to any of the tutorials on youtube, and skip the rest of step 1, jumping to step 2 straightway. You can find a lot out there, but most of them are exactly the same as the first one.
