// ...

@Override
protected List<ReactPackage> getPackages() {

        // ... ,

   );
}

Usage

Same API as for React Native's WebView

import AndroidWebView from 'react-native-android-wv-video'

...

return <AndroidWebView source={{ uri: html5VideoUrl }} {...restProps} />

Implementation

The problem with full-screen support in Android was resolved by changing the WebChromeClient in a WebView.

WebView component uses the same code and has the same API, as React Native's own WebView, the only thing, that was changed

To Do

[ ] - Add support for horizontal full-screen mode
