Solution 1 - Android Emulator

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.

I tried in this way:

  1. Open Android Studio, then Click Tools->Android->AVD Manager, as shown:enter image description here

  2. Choose your virtual devices, then click edit this AVD,enter image description here

  3. In Virtual Device Configuration, click Show Advanced Settings, scroll down to find Keyboard, then check Enable keyboard input checkbox, then click Finish button.enter image description here enter image description here

  4. Launch this AVD in emulator.enter image description here

  5. In Terminal, in your react native project directory, run "react-native run-android".

  6. 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. enter image description here Hope this will help. Cheers

R+R works for android emulators.

to open dev menu with command line: adb shell input keyevent 82

you can activate live reload there.

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

Press Ctrl + m, a menu will pop.

for further ease. Enable Hot Reloading: whenever you make changes in your code it will reload itself; You won't have to reload again and again.
