title: Testing React Native code without an Android Emulator
body: <p>I'm a uni student who has to create a React Native mobile application for an assignment. Initially, we were using University computers for our coding and using Android Studio emulators to test our code once it was written to make sure it works on an android device.</p>
  
  <p>Unfortunately due to the current epidemic, my University has closed all facilities including their 24 hour library which myself and coursemates were using to complete this assignment. This means that all of our assignment work must now be completed on personal computers. My personal laptop doesn't seem to work well with Android Studio, I am assuming it is due to the ageing hardware. I cannot get an emulator to run.</p>
  
  <p>I would like to know if there is a way to use an online emulator or something of the sort to test the code I have written to make sure it actually works. I am aware of expo but since I am using the React Native CLI I don't think I am able to use Expo for an emulator. Is there a way that I can still use the Expo emulator even though this React project is not using Expo CLI?</p>
  
  <p>Unfortunately I also cannot use a personal device as I do not own an Android phone.</p>
  
  <p>Any advice would be greatly appreciated. I have made my course tutors aware of my circumstances and was informed that I can apply for exceptional factors to be taken into consideration when marking my work. However I would much rather complete the work to the best of my ability if possible without needing to apply for the above.</p>
