Re-connect to metro server after disconnect

Question

I am running react-native run-android with physical android device plug in with usb port.

However, when the cable is disconnected. I can't reconnect back to metro server automatically.

I have to rerun react-native run-android which was quite a waste of time.

Is there any command that can use to reconnect?

Answer 1

try in terminal adb reverse tcp:8081 tcp:8081 and after that in the Metro Bundler Window hit r key

Answer 2

Check that the device is reconnected to the machine with:

adb devices

Reroute the connection to the development server with:

adb reverse tcp:8081 tcp:8081
