A full-screen video component on top of react-native-video

npm version FOSSA Status

One of the main issues of react-native-video is making video full-screen on Android. To solve this issue, I've made this package that acts as a full-screen video component.

Installation

To install react-native-fullscreen-video, you can use install from git or use a javascript package manager (e.g. npm or yarn).

  • To install from git (master branch):
    $ npm install git+https://github.com/mostafa/react-native-fullscreen-video.git
    
  • To install using a javascript package manager, simply run this command (in this case we've used npm):
    $ npm install --save react-native-fullscreen-video
    

Examples

Two example apps are created to demonstrate how to use this package.

First one is a simple app that uses no special setup for navigation/routing and state management.

In the second example, react-native-router-flux is used to make two scenes and switch between them using the provided routing functions (Actions).

Usage with no-setup

Simply define a view with flex set to 1 containing FullScreenVideo component:

import React, { Component } from 'react';
import { View } from 'react-native';
import FullscreenVideo from 'react-native-fullscreen-video';

export default class App extends Component<{}> {
  render() {
    return (
      <View style={{flex: 1}}>
        <FullscreenVideo src={{uri: "<video-url>"}} />
      </View>
    );
  }
}

Although not mandatory, you can use react-native-router-flux to define a scene containing this component and then pass the necessary arguments, so that the component plays the video. The example app looks like this:

import React, { Component } from 'react';
import { AppRegistry } from 'react-native';
import { Scene, Router } from 'react-native-router-flux';
import FullScreenVideo from 'react-native-fullscreen-video';
import MainView from './app/mainview';

export default class example extends Component {
  render() {
    return (
      <Router>
        <Scene key="root">
          <Scene key="main" component={MainView} initial={true} hideNavBar={true} />
          <Scene
            key="fullscreenVideo"
            component={FullScreenVideo}
            hideNavBar={true}
            duration={1} />
        </Scene>
      </Router>
    );
  }
}

AppRegistry.registerComponent('example', () => example);
import { Actions } from 'react-native-router-flux';
...
<TouchableOpacity onPress={() => { Actions.fullscreenVideo({src: "<video-url>"}) }} />
...

By tapping on the TouchableOpacity component (or your own desired component), the full-screen video component would slide in and play the video in full-screen.

Limitation(s)

  1. FIXED Your app should be locked in portrait orientation, for this component to work. Your app no longer needs to be locked in portrait orientation.
  2. FIXED I haven't tested it with any other routing/navigation package, other than react-native-router-flux. No special routing/navigation is needed, the component works independently.
  3. Not all properties are supported right now for the internal video component.
  4. It doesn't contain any player controls.
