React Native version:

Run `react-native info` in your terminal and copy the results here.
react: 16.9.0 => 16.9.0 
react-native: 0.61.5 => 0.61.5

Steps To Reproduce

Provide a detailed list of steps that reproduce the issue.
Issues without reproduction steps or code are likely to stall.

1. npx react-native init projectname
2. Open Android Studio
3. Select projectname -> android folder
4. Sync/buid

Expected Results

As it works fine from the terminal on running the command npx react-native run-android it should also work fine from android studio too.

Snack, code example, screenshot, or link to a repository:

[rodrigoimenes]

HI,

Managed to solve?

[Pratap22]

@rodrigoimenes No, Not able to do it through Android Studio yet. WHile X-Code works fine. Not able to know if the error is with npx or react-native.

[Vijay-mRoads]

I am facing the same issue. Did you guys find any solution?

[vdmtrv]

I also ran into this issue recently. You need to add cliPath to your android/app/build.gradle file as per the following example:

project.ext.react = [
 cliPath: "$rootDir/../node_modules/react-native/cli.js",
 entryFile : "index.js"
];

Make sure you clean your project via Build -> Clean Project and then Sync Project with Gradle files. You'll be able to successfully run your build after that.

[chrisglein]

Looks like this may have been addressed with the merged PR @vdmtrv linked above. Safe to close?

[rodrigoimenes]

Worked for me after something i made but i dont remember what ive done :(
Totally forgot to come back here

[1453alabanda]

thank you @vdmtrv worked for me.

[s349856186]

I can't fix this issue, my android/app/build.gradle
project.ext.react = [ enableHermes: false, // clean and rebuild if changing cliPath: "$rootDir/../node_modules/react-native/cli.js", entryFile : "index.js" ]
modify node_modules/react-native/react.gradle
//execCommand.addAll([npx, "react-native"]) throw new Exception("Missing cliPath or nodeExecutableAndArgs from build config. " + "Please set project.ext.react.cliPath to the path of the react-native cli.js");

"react": "16.11.0",
"react-native": "0.62.2"
gradle-4.10.1-all
classpath("com.android.tools.build:gradle:3.3.0")

android studio can't Sync/build
Gradle 'android' project refresh failed
Error:Cause: error=2, No such file or directory

[s349856186]

update：I upgrade AndroidStudio version to 3.6.2，Sync OK
