react-native-media-kit

android/settings.gradle

include ':react-native-media-kit'
project(':react-native-media-kit').projectDir = new File('../node_modules/react-native-media-kit/android')

android/app/build.gradle

dependencies {
    ...
    compile project(':react-native-media-kit')
}

MainActivity.java

    return Arrays.<ReactPackage>asList(
        new MainReactPackage(),
            new MediaKitPackage()
    );
}

Documentation

Quite same as the the HTML

import {Video} from 'react-native-media-kit';
...
<Video
  style={{width: width, height: width / (16/9)}}
  src={'http://v.yoai.com/femme_tampon_tutorial.mp4'}

  preload={'none'}
  loop={false}
  controls={true}
  muted={false}
  poster={'http://static.yoaicdn.com/shoppc/images/cover_img_e1e9e6b.jpg'}
/>
