React Native, why react-native run-android not working?

I'm trying to run react native run-android after I update my project file, but whenever I run react-native it throws an error. When I created that project and that command it worked fine but when I edit and add some files like apps/redux, apps/components, screens etc it stopped working. Can anyone tell me why it's not working?

you either need to create a virtual device or connect a physical device with USB debuging enabled (https://developer.android.com/studio/debug/dev-options).
To create a virtual device, open android studio and select AVD manager from Configure menu and create a new virtual device downloading required packages.

In case you are using a virtual device with Android studio then try to manually run the emulator BEFORE react-native run-android.
(open android studio > Tools > AVD Manager > Create Virtual Device)

Or repeat the official installation guide:

Android Studio React Native Build fails

I took the project I am developing at my workplace home and wanted to run it here on my machine.
I got many many errors which I fixed, but there are some that I don't know how. Maybe you guys know a fix.
\android\app\build\intermediates\external_file_lib_dex_archives\debug\out
this output get generated when building the project from AS.
I read that the fix is to add this: android.enableBuildCache=false to gradle.properties but when I do that I get this error which make 0 sense tbh.
: Cannot parse project property android.enableBuildCache='false ' of type 'class java.lang.String' as boolean. Expected 'true' or 'false'.
EDIT: Ok there was an empty space after false hence the second error but even with that corrected I get the first error.
Running it from vsCode gives me: Execution failed for task ':app:processDebugResources'.
EDIT2: Newest Error in AS:
> Task :app:mergeExtDexDebug

Try to delete the .gradle folder from projectname/android - folder and rebuild. Solved it for me.

I have encountered a similar error before. As a result of my research as a solution
In the android/app/build.gradle file multiDexEnabled true
android {
defaultConfig {
...
targetSdkVersion 28
multiDexEnabled true // here
}
...
}

As Murat Kızılöz suggested, you can get around this by adding multiDexEnabled truein the android/app/build.gradle file.
This is because Android system has a 64K reference limit
In Android, the compilers convert your source code into DEX files. This DEX file
contains the compiled code used to run the app. But there is a limitation with the
DEX file. The DEX file limits the total number of methods that can be referenced
within a single DEX file to 64K i.e. 65,536 methods. So, you cant use more than
64K methods in a particular DEX file. These 64K methods include Android framework
methods, library methods, and methods in our code also. This limit of 64K is
referred to as the "64K reference limit".
So, if our app exceeds 65,536 methods, we will encounter a build error that indicates our app has reached the limit of the Android build architecture.
To get around this, you can manually enable this in the app build.gradle file
You can read more about this at Android Multidex

Try this command in your project root:
cd android && rm -rf .gradle && rm -rf .idea
and then
./gradlew clean
and then build again, works like a charm.

You can solve this issue by deleting the .gradle folder from "NameOfProject/android" and again running Android-Studio, I hoped this is solved. :))

How can I delete Android Studio project located in ionic project?

I have an ionic project, and for now the unique platform that i am built for is android, all features in project were working fine, previously when i export to APK this project, also works perfectly, the project in that time already had an android studio project linked in, but despite this everything worked fine.
Recently, looking in a page I saw that a project of ionic can be easily imported in android studio clicking on "Import project (Gradle, Eclipse, ADT, etc.)", so I clicked on that option and looked for my .gradle file.
Once I found it, I opened this in Android Studio, some message was displayed importing the project, something like "This version of gradle seems to be older, we recommend to update gradle, click here to update gradle", so i clicked in, but doesn't install successfully, for other errors...
As I didn't know what to do, I simply closed Android Studio, and tried to build APK once again but from the CMD, my APK was successfully built.
But now when I install the APK, run the APK and try to use the functionality of 2 plugins, one plugin simple doesn't works, but don't close me the application (imagePicker).
In case of the other plugin (googleMaps), when i try to change to the page where i using googleMaps, the app will simple got closed.
(I think was android studio gradle opened and attempted to upgrade and this break the plugins functionality).
Other thing that was changed is that previously when i run command:
ionic cordova build android -c
the output APK looks like:
app-debug.apk
now when i run this command the name is something like:
android-debug.apk
This thing means that I will never be able to run command:
ionic cordova run android
because the installation apk name that is recognized for the command is app-debug, not android-debug.
This is the output, but if i try to remove android platform and add it again, an error happens if y try to run:
ionic cordova build android -c
this is the output that i'm getting using android 6.4.0:

The reason i want to delete the android studio project located in ionic project is that i think that the ionic builder is not using the ionic project configurations, ionic is using android studio project configs now to make the apk build, and i think this is the error, but i don't know about any command that 'removes' the android studio project config of an ionic project.

Make sure you have an Android emulator running or a device connected and have
set up your Android development environment:
https://facebook.github.io/react-native/docs/getting-started.html
error Command failed: ./gradlew app:installDebug. Run CLI with --verbose flag for more details.
But it runs if I run it as root `sudo react-native run-andoid'.
How can I make the project run without being root??

I found out from reading the post by Medium that u have to give permission to every folder explicitly when u encounter a permission issue when installing react native and realated tools, so that u can run the app without being sudo. Otherwise the files installed by sudo can only be run as sudo.
Use the below command to give access to the current user for that specific folder
sudo chown -R $(whoami) ~/Documents/Myapplicationfolder
