When I try to launch the Android app with react-native, I get the following error

$react-native run-android

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

Error due to missing virtual device

>com.android.builder.testing.api.DeviceException: No connected devices!

This means that the virtual device is not found on the network and cannot be connected to the device.
Even if you actually look for an Android device,

$adb devices
List of devices attached

will be

Start the Android virtual device.
GenyMotion is recommended as an Android virtual device emulator.

Then, in the host operating system,

$adb devices
List of devices attached
192.168.56.101—5555 device

Neighboring devices will appear on the network.

$react-native run-android

Launch Android in
