React Native configuration for existing Android project

Question

I'am trying to integrate React Native to my existing Android app using the newest React Native version of 0.45.1.

The project setup is standard as created by the init command. In the android subfolder I checked out my existing Android app and followed the steps from Integration With Existing Apps

When running react-native run-android its gets me:

ENOENT: no such file or directory, open 'app/src/main/AndroidManifest.xml'

This is obviously due to my non standard Android project structure as I have several modules and my main module is not named app.

Now the actual question: Is there a way to configure the React Native layer and to tell it where my Manifest and possibly other required files reside?

Got is, pretty simple actually. --help is your friend.

--appFolder [string]      Specify a different application folder name for the android source.

is exactly what I was looking for. For anyone who has similar troubles, there are some other interesting options as well.

Can you explain a bit better that what you have done to resolve this issue.

react-native run-android --appFolder <projectName>. I changed my project name from app to myapp, so I ran "react-native run-android --appFolder myapp" and it worked.
