React Native is great when you are starting a new mobile app from scratch. However, it also works well for adding a single view or user flow to existing native applications. With a few steps, you can add new React Native based features, screens, views, etc.
The keys to integrating React Native components into your Android application are to:
1.Understand what React Native components you want to integrate.
2.Install react-native in your Android application root directory to create node_modules/ directory.
3.Create your actual React Native components in JavaScript.
4.Add com.facebook.react:react-native:+ and a maven pointing to the react-native binaries in node_modules/ to your build.gradle file.
5.Create a custom React Native specific Activity that creates a ReactRootView.
6.Start the React Native server and run your native application.
7.Optionally add more React Native components.
8.Debug.
9.Prepare for deployment.
10.Deploy and Profit!

sorry, i already checked that link. but no use.... in your answer 2nd point discussed about Root Directory... F:\Ramaraju\workspace\MyOwnProject\app\src\main\java this is my project path(Existing android project not React Project), please tell me what is the root directory there?

F:\Ramaraju\workspace\MyOwnProject\ this your root directory

okay please be patience, i'll explain my steps. please let me know what wrong i did............ 1>open cmd cd to root directory... 2>npm install -g react-native-cli with the second step it won't create any node_module folder in my root project
Arunkumar
then you i'll type in cmd "npm init <yourProjectName>"

ok, package.json was created done upto this from "facebook.github.io/react-native/releases/0.42/docs/…" reference. now prob with "index.android.js" file, i didn't find it in my root project. we have to create manually or it'll generate automatically?
