how to configure react-native expo apps to run in android Studio?

I have an react-native Expo project which i want to run in Android Studio to be able to debug it there.

So far, I installed everything, connected a device to laptop, but i am not running it in Android Studio. I run the project with "npm start", scan QR code to install it to the device. As the result, I keep seeing "no debuggable process" in Android Monitor.

When I click "run" menu in Android Studio, it shows a "run" popup box and clicking which opens the "configuration" window.

I think I am missing something in configuration and not running the project using android studio, that is why I am not being able to debug it. How do I configure it? I find no manual. Please help!

expo react-native android-studio

If the project was created with create-react-native-app, you'll need to eject it, then you can run it with: react-native run-android. This will build the project just as if you were building it in Android studio.

Make sure you have react-native-cli installed globally for this to work. Once it is ejected, you can open the android folder in Android Studio and build it that way if you prefer.
