Otherwise you&#x27;ll get an error while compiling - <code>Error: more than one library with package name &#x27;com.facebook.react&#x27;</code>.</p><p>Modify your <code>android/app/build.gradle</code>, and add:</p><div class="prism language-gradle">configurations<span class="token punctuation">.</span>all <span class="token punctuation">{</span>

Android Studio won&#x27;t start the packager automatically, you&#x27;ll need to start it by running <code>npm start</code> on the command line.</p><h2><a class="anchor" name="additional-notes"></a>Additional notes <a class="hash-link" href="docs/android-building-from-source.html#additional-notes">#</a></h2><p>Building from source can take a long time, especially for the first build, as it needs to download ~200 MB of artifacts and compile the native code. Every time you update the <code>react-native</code> version from your repo, the build directory may get deleted, and all the files are re-downloaded. To avoid this, you might want to change your build directory path by editing the <code>~/.gradle/init.gradle</code> file:</p><div class="prism language-gradle">gradle<span class="token punctuation">.</span>projectsLoaded <span class="token punctuation">{</span>
rootProject<span class="token punctuation">.</span>allprojects <span class="token punctuation">{</span>
