Fix: React Native Android Project Not Found 2023

When I was trying to create React Native project using react-native cli. I was getting below error:

error Android project not found. Are you sure this is a React Native project? If your Android files are located in a non-standard location (e.g. not inside 'android' folder), consider setting `project.android.sourceDir` option to point to a new location.
info Run CLI with --verbose flag for more details.
error Command failed with exit code 1.
info Visit https://yarnpkg.com/en/docs/cli/run for documentation about this command.

The command I was using

npx react-native init test

After running the command npx react-native init test , I was trying to run my android app by using below command

cd test & npx react-native run-android

Then I got below error:

error Android project not found. Are you sure this is a React Native project? If your Android files are located in a non-standard location (e.g. not inside ‘android’ folder), consider setting `project.android.sourceDir` option to point to a new location.
