If you have this problem when you pull a react-native project  you just need to open the android project with Android Studio  Everything you need will be automatically created    Open Android Studio File -  Open Choose the android folder under your react-native project folder Wait for AndroidStudio to complete setup You can now close Android Studio   OR  If you have installed the AndroidStudio command line launcher    Run this in your react-native root folder   studio android     Wait for AndroidStudio to complete setup You can now close Android Studio

Here is a work around for the problem when you click  Run App   green arrow  and get the following in the Edit Configuration dialog       Error  Please select Android SDK   In Android Studio  do    From the menu  choose File  gt  Settings   In the settings dialog  go to Appearance  amp  Behavior  gt  System Settings  gt  Android SDK  Look at the top for Android SDK Location  and click the Edit button Hit Next  Next  Finish to accept the defaults   This seems to save away the SDK location - even though nothing has changed - into some internal location   I inspected the  idea and  gradle folders but didn t see what Studio did to change a config file - but now I can run the app   And to summarize the previous fixes - these are normally OK for a repo without build problems         local properties file is copied into the root folder by Studio    The path in the local properties file has the correct path to the android SDK - in my case it is sdk dir C   android  sdk    note that this path has a different format - Studio should write this file for you based on the Text Entry field in the Android SDK Settings dialog    settings gradle file is present in the repo - and references the application folder  typically  app
