Is it possible to start developing android apps with React Native by installing android SDK and AVD manager but without installing android studio? I am using Ubuntu 16.04 and already installed Android SDK and AVD manager.

I think you can do if you install android SDK Tools and some commands lines as I mentioned belowmuhammad tayyab– muhammad tayyab2019-02-25 09:15:02 +00:00Commented Feb 25, 2019 at 9:15

Yes, as I know RN needs XCode only when you want to start the iOS App.
On this page if you select Android and Linux you will get the steps to install RN and how to configure the project.

My question was about without installing Android Studio in Ubuntu. Since I can work on android development seamlessly with only running AVD manager to run the emulator in Windows 10. I don't need to use Android Studio here in Windows.
I think its possible to start writing apps in react-native without installing android studio. Probably for such you would require installing a virtual android device then rest would work.
I hope you've installed the following things:
npm install -g react-native-cli
Then to me you will have to install Android SDK tools that's necessary. Once you've installed the react-native-cli then set Environment Variables that can via opening terminal and type:
sudo vi ~/.bash_profile
then put this code:
export ANDROID_HOME=$HOME/Android/Sdk
export PATH=$PATH:$ANDROID_HOME/emulator
export PATH=$PATH:$ANDROID_HOME/tools
export PATH=$PATH:$ANDROID_HOME/tools/bin
export PATH=$PATH:$ANDROID_HOME/platform-tools
Then run:
react-native run-android
react-native start
Let's try out and confirm
