For android one can use CTRL + R
For apple one can use R + R (two times R
).
For developers options:
One can also use the Command⌘ + D keyboard shortcut when your app is running in the iPhone Simulator, or Command⌘ + M when running in an Android emulator.
Solution 2 - Android Emulator
I tried in this way:
-
Open Android Studio, then Click Tools->Android->AVD Manager, as shown:
-
In Virtual Device Configuration, click Show Advanced Settings, scroll down to find Keyboard, then check Enable keyboard input checkbox, then click Finish button.
-
In Terminal, in your react native project directory, run "react-native run-android".
-
Your will see your app will be running in your emulator, if you want to reload the project, you could double tap R(you should type it very quickly, otherwise it may not reload js) or you can type command+M, then you choose Reload. Hope this will help. Cheers

R+R works for android emulators.

I would suggest reading the doc if it wasn't already been done
