Make sure you have an Android emulator running or a device connected and have
set up your Android development environment:

I have searched and all i have seen so far are genymotion user solutions.

Any idea on how to fix this?

Oh, i found the error, the zip file in

/home/webshinobis/.gradle/wrapper/dists/gradle-2.4-all/6r4uqcc6ovnq6ac6s0txzcpc0/gradle-2.4-all.zip

was corrupt that's y it could not be unzipped by the java. So I have to go into the folder and delete the zip file mannualy and then run

react-native run-android

again. Hope that helps someone else. This is usually due to internet connection issues.

Set your ANDROID_HOME environment variables. Check your adb devices first. If your device is available. See the cyprusglobe suggestion.

Run:

- chmod 755 android/gradlew
- react-native run-android

If you are using the latest Android Studio, set the latest buildToolsVersion in your build.gradle file.
