Problem with me react native project can you help

#javascript #reactnative #android #beginners

Hey devs 👋,

I'm working on a React Native project and ran into an issue I can't seem to resolve. I'm using Visual Studio Code on Windows, and the Metro bundler starts fine, but I don’t see a “Run” button in VS Code to launch the app on my Android emulator.

Here’s what I’ve done so far:

Installed Android Studio and set up an emulator

Metro bundler is running without errors

My code is clean and imports look fine

Tried running npx react-native run-android, but nothing happens

I’ve also attached a screenshot of my setup for context.

🔍 What I’m Looking For:
How do I properly run the app on an Android emulator from VS Code?

Is there a way to add a “Run” button or shortcut?

Any tips on configuring VS Code or extensions to streamline this?

Thanks in advance for any help! 🙏 Happy to share more details if needed.
