Unable To Recognize Js Server

I was trying to setup react native for android. When I finally try to run the application, with react-native run-android, I get a message JS server not recognized, continuing with

Solution 1:

This message means you have another service listening on port 8081, so the JS packager can't be started. You can find what process is blocking the port by running:

lsof -n -i4TCP:8081 | grep LISTEN

You can stop/kill this process and then run react-native run-android again.
