title: How to reload in the Android emulator window when developing React Native Apps?
body: <p>When developing React Native Apps, I'm following the Getting Started steps at <a href="https://facebook.github.io/react-native/docs/getting-started.html#content" rel="noreferrer">https://facebook.github.io/react-native/docs/getting-started.html#content</a> and have reached the point of modifying the source file and reloading. </p>
  
  <p>"Double tap R on your keyboard to reload, Shake or press menu button for dev menu".</p>
  
  <p>Double tap R - where? The only reasonable place seems to be in the Android emulator window. When I do it there, nothing at all happens. I also tried it in the cmd window which is running the packager - nothing happened.</p>
  
  <p>I see no way to "shake" the emulator.</p>
  
  <p>Press menu button for dev menu - the only thing which looks like a menu button, on a toolbox looking sidebar beside the emulator (three dots), opens an Extended Controls window, which has no Reload button.</p>
  
  <p>Feeling really stupid since I can't make it through Getting Started without getting stuck.</p>
  
  <p>Host is Windows 7.</p>
