Answer 1

Go to your react-native Project then go to android directory and create a file with this name

local.properties

If you are on Windows open the file and paste your Android SDK path like this:

sdk.dir=C:\\Users\\UserName\\AppData\\Local\\Android\\sdk

I found that answer right here

Answer 2

A quick fix I use when I hit similar issues is run

react-native bundle --platform android --dev false --entry-file index.js --bundle-output android/app/src/main/assets/index.android.bundle --assets-dest android/app/src/main/res

then make sure your emulator is open and run react-native run-android again
