react-native-video-preview

A <VideoPreview> component for react-native on Android.

iOS support is not included because react-native-video already shows a preview when loading a video that is paused.

Add it to your project

Run npm i -S git://github.com/chadsmith/react-native-video-preview.git

Then run react-native link react-native-video-preview

Inside your code, import the component by adding:

import VideoPreview from 'react-native-video-preview';

If necessary, make the following additions to the given files manually:

android/settings.gradle

include ':react-native-video-preview'
project(':react-native-video-preview').projectDir = new File(rootProject.projectDir, '../node_modules/react-native-video-preview/android')

android/app/build.gradle

dependencies {
   ...
   compile project(':react-native-video-preview')
}

MainApplication.java

On top, import:

import com.github.chadsmith.RCTVideoPreview;

Under .addPackage(new MainReactPackage()):

.addPackage(new VideoPreviewPackage())

Usage

<VideoPreview
  source={{ uri: 'http://www.sample-videos.com/video/mp4/720/big_buck_bunny_720p_1mb.mp4' }} // Can be a URL or a local file.
  style={styles.preview}
  resizeMode="contain" />
