- I was following the instructions to set up the react-native examples (UIExplorer, Movies etc.) pulled from GIT, following the instructions set up at - https://github.com/facebook/react-native
- I am attempting to set it up to preview the examples via the Genymotion Android Simulator on a Mac. *All previous steps regarding setup, pulling the repo, etc. are successful with no errors. *I then execute the following statement at the bash shell on Mac
./gradlew :Examples:UIExplorer:android:app:installDebug
The following error is shown while building.

... (did not want to put the whole stacktrace unless you want it)
All the types of errors indicate that UIExplorerActivity.java has an error onPause() and onResume() while compiling.
I have already looked at similar issues on this list, including - https://github.com/facebook/react-native/issues/5790 - https://github.com/facebook/react-native/issues/4858
as well as issues on stackoverflow, including
React native Android Example does not work
React Native make android app load in genymotion
and a few others but they do not appear to be related to this issue (as it is either a different class that is failing or a different issue that causes the same result.
Notes: building the iOS version works fine (with xCode etc.).
How to fix this? Any insight appreciated. thanks..
Edward
