Setting up fullscreen on Android

Step 1:

Go to your android\app\src\main\java\your\package\directory folder where you can find MainActivity.java. Copy the java files from the repo's android\app\src\main\java folder and paste them there. Open those files in any editor(Android Studio recommended) and change the package names according to your project. After that, go to your MainApplication.java file and under the new MainReactPackage(), copy and paste this: new BridgePackage() and it should look similar to the code below if you do not have other packages.

@Override
    protected List<ReactPackage> getPackages() {
      return Arrays.<ReactPackage>asList(
          new MainReactPackage(),
          new BridgePackage()
          );
     }

Step 2:

Make a folder in your android\app\src\main\res directory and name it layout, then copy the player_fullscreen.xml from the repo's android\app\src\main\res\layout directory and paste it into your directory and then go to your AndroidManifest.xml and add this before the ending application tag: <activity android:name=".VideoActivity" android:screenOrientation="sensorLandscape" android:configChanges="orientation|screenSize" />

If you want to remove the action bar, change your theme or change the theme for your activity from the manifest

And then your fullscreen should be working and ready to go!
