Problem with me react native project can you help

Aditya Sharma — Thu, 11 Sep 2025 14:54:41 +0000

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.

Empowering Visual Learning with AI: My Submission for the Google AI Studio Challenge

This is a submission for the Google AI Studio Multimodal Challenge

What I Built

I created VisionTutor, an AI-powered applet designed to help students learn complex concepts through multimodal interaction. Whether it's biology diagrams, physics equations, or historical maps, VisionTutor allows users to upload images and receive contextual explanations, summaries, and interactive Q&A—all powered by Gemini 2.5 Flash.

This tool bridges the gap between visual content and textual understanding, making learning more intuitive and accessible.

Demo

You can try VisionTutor live at: https://visiontutor.ai/demo

If Gemini 2.5 Flash Image is no longer available, here's a demo video showcasing the applet in action.

How I Used Google AI Studio

I leveraged Google AI Studio to fine-tune multimodal prompts that interpret images and generate educational responses. The platform’s flexibility allowed me to iterate quickly and test various use cases—from textbook scans to classroom whiteboard photos.

Multimodal Features

Image-to-Text Summarization: Users upload diagrams or notes, and the app generates concise summaries.
Interactive Q&A: Ask questions about the image and receive intelligent answers.
Contextual Highlighting: Key elements in the image are visually marked and explained.

These features enhance the user experience by turning static visuals into dynamic learning tools.

Team Submission: Built solo, but inspired by feedback from fellow DEV members.

Thanks for reading—and thanks to Google AI Studio and DEV for hosting this challenge!
