Using the Android Emulator to run an App
- Before we proceed, I have to correct the previous tutorial
- To use Expo GO, Pixel 6 is not a valid device, for if you would want to use Expo GO with the Android Emulator, you would have to choose a device with the play store pre=installed, as indicated by the little triangle icon shown in the picture below.
- Run the Emulator by clicking the play button next to the correct emulator.
- After you have started the emulator, you would need to open VScode and run the usual npm i and npm start commands in the terminal
- After that, you would see from the texts that pops up showing that you need to press a to open android, and do just that in the terminal
- After you click a, it will automatically detect the Android Emulator and install Expo GO on the machine.
- After installation, you should be able to see the following texts.
- Your App should successfully show up in the Android Emulator now!
