Build React Native Android development environment under Windows

Widows version: Win7 64-bit Professional Edition

1. Install the JDK. (I use the JDK7)

Note Select x86 or x64 version, add to system PATH environment variable

2. Get the Android SDK ready

This is not much to say, it is recommended to use Android Studio, the simulator recommended to use Genymotion, than the own AVD is much faster.

3. Installing the C + + environment

You can install Visual Studio 2013 or 2015 directly, or you can choose a separate SDK to compile the C + + module for node. js.

4. Install node. js

Download node. js from official website, I downloaded the latest v5.3.0 stable version

https://nodejs.org/en/.

5. Installing the React-native command-line tool

NPM install-g REACT-NATIVE-CLI

6. Create your own project

Enter the working directory and run:

React-native Init REACTNATIVE_P1

PS:REACTNATIVE_P1 is your own project name.

7. Running Packager

Old version:

If you have Cygwin installed, you can enter the project directory in the Cygwin environment and run

NPM start

If there is no Cygwin or not in the Cygwin environment, you can enter the project directory and run

Node Node_modules\react-native\packager\packager.js

If you are downloading the latest version, install Cygwin, then switch to Node_modules\react-native\packager and then run:

./packager.sh--nonpersistent

Note Be sure to add--nonpersistent parameter, otherwise it will fail because of loading watchman

You can use the browser to access the http://localhost:8081/index.android.bundle?platform=android to see if you can see the packaged script, can be normal to show success.

8. Running the simulator

about how to install and use genymotion later, we can directly search the relevant information can be, you can also directly use the AVD.

9. Running in the Android emulator

Open a new CMD window, go to the project directory to run (the seventh step of the packager operation is a prerequisite, and can not be turned off)

React-native run-android

10. Installing the Debugging Tools

Visit Http://localhost:8081/debugger-ui, install Chrome or Firefox debugging tools, how to use is still groping ...
