## Installation
|
||
|
||
Using npm:
|
||
|
||
```shell
|
||
npm install --save react-native-video
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
or using yarn:
|
||
|
||
```shell
|
||
yarn add react-native-video
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
Then follow the instructions for your platform to link react-native-video into your project:
|
||
|
||
### iOS installation
|
||
<details>
|
||
<summary>iOS details</summary>
|
||
|
||
#### Standard Method
|
||
|
||
**React Native 0.60 and above**
|
||
|
||
Run `npx pod-install`. Linking is not required in React Native 0.60 and above.
|
||
|
||
**React Native 0.59 and below**
|
||
|
||
Run `react-native link react-native-video` to link the react-native-video library.
|
||
|
||
#### Enable Static Linking for dependencies in your ios project Podfile
|
||
|
||
Add `use_frameworks! :linkage => :static` just under `platform :ios` in your ios project Podfile.
|
||
|
||
[See the example ios project for reference](examples/basic/ios/Podfile#L5)
|
||
|
||
#### Using CocoaPods (required to enable caching)
|
||
|
||
Setup your Podfile like it is described in the [react-native documentation](https://facebook.github.io/react-native/docs/integration-with-existing-apps#configuring-cocoapods-dependencies).
|
||
|
||
Depending on your requirements you have to choose between the two possible subpodspecs:
|
||
|
||
Video only:
|
||
|
||
```diff
|
||
pod 'Folly', :podspec => '../node_modules/react-native/third-party-podspecs/Folly.podspec'
|
||
+ `pod 'react-native-video', :path => '../node_modules/react-native-video/react-native-video.podspec'`
|
||
end
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
Video with caching ([more info](docs/caching.md)):
|
||
|
||
```diff
|
||
pod 'Folly', :podspec => '../node_modules/react-native/third-party-podspecs/Folly.podspec'
|
||
+ `pod 'react-native-video/VideoCaching', :path => '../node_modules/react-native-video/react-native-video.podspec'`
|
||
end
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
#### Enable custom feature in podfile file
|
||
|
||
##### Google IMA
|
||
|
||
Google IMA is the google SDK to support Client Side Ads Integration (CSAI), see [google documentation](https://developers.google.com/interactive-media-ads/docs/sdks/ios/client-side) for more informations.
|
||
|
||
To enable google IMA usage define add following line in your podfile:
|
||
```podfile
|
||
$RNVideoUseGoogleIMA=true
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
</details>
|
||
|
||
### tvOS installation
|
||
<details>
|
||
<summary>tvOS details</summary>
|
||
|
||
`react-native link react-native-video` doesn’t work properly with the tvOS target so we need to add the library manually.
|
||
|
||
First select your project in Xcode.
|
||
|
||
<img src="./docs/tvOS-step-1.jpg" width="40%">
|
||
|
||
After that, select the tvOS target of your application and select « General » tab
|
||
|
||
<img src="./docs/tvOS-step-2.jpg" width="40%">
|
||
|
||
Scroll to « Linked Frameworks and Libraries » and tap on the + button
|
||
|
||
<img src="./docs/tvOS-step-3.jpg" width="40%">
|
||
|
||
Select RCTVideo-tvOS
|
||
|
||
<img src="./docs/tvOS-step-4.jpg" width="40%">
|
||
</details>
|
||
|
||
### Android installation
|
||
<details>
|
||
<summary>Android details</summary>
|
||
|
||
Linking is not required in React Native 0.60 and above.
|
||
If your project is using React Native < 0.60, run `react-native link react-native-video` to link the react-native-video library.
|
||
|
||
Or if you have trouble, make the following additions to the given files manually:
|
||
|
||
#### **android/settings.gradle**
|
||
|
||
Add player source in build configuration
|
||
|
||
```gradle
|
||
include ':react-native-video'
|
||
project(':react-native-video').projectDir = new File(rootProject.projectDir, '../node_modules/react-native-video/android')
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
#### **android/app/build.gradle**
|
||
|
||
From version >= 5.0.0, you have to apply these changes:
|
||
|
||
```diff
|
||
dependencies {
|
||
...
|
||
compile project(':react-native-video')
|
||
+ implementation "androidx.appcompat:appcompat:1.0.0"
|
||
- implementation "com.android.support:appcompat-v7:${rootProject.ext.supportLibVersion}"
|
||
|
||
}
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
#### **android/gradle.properties**
|
||
|
||
Migrating to AndroidX (needs version >= 5.0.0):
|
||
|
||
```gradle.properties
|
||
android.useAndroidX=true
|
||
android.enableJetifier=true
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
#### **MainApplication.java**
|
||
|
||
If using com.facebook.react.PackageList to auto import native dependencies, there are no updates required here. Please see the android example project for more details.
|
||
/examples/basic/android/app/src/main/java/com/videoplayer/MainApplication.java
|
||
|
||
##### For manual linking
|
||
|
||
On top, where imports are:
|
||
|
||
```java
|
||
import com.brentvatne.react.ReactVideoPackage;
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
Add the `ReactVideoPackage` class to your list of exported packages.
|
||
|
||
```java
|
||
@Override
|
||
protected List<ReactPackage> getPackages() {
|
||
return Arrays.asList(
|
||
new MainReactPackage(),
|
||
new ReactVideoPackage()
|
||
);
|
||
}
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
#### Enable custom feature in gradle file
|
||
|
||
##### Enable client side ads insertion
|
||
To enable client side ads insertion CSAI with google IMA SDK, you need to enable it in your gradle file.
|
||
|
||
```gradle
|
||
buildscript {
|
||
ext {
|
||
...
|
||
RNVUseExoplayerIMA = true
|
||
...
|
||
}
|
||
}
|
||
```
|
||
</details>
|
||
|
||

|
||
<summary>Windows RNW C++/WinRT details</summary>
|
||
|
||
#### Autolinking
|
||
|
||
**React Native Windows 0.63 and above**
|
||
|
||
Autolinking should automatically add react-native-video to your app.
|
||
|
||
#### Manual Linking
|
||
|
||
**React Native Windows 0.62**
|
||
|
||
Make the following additions to the given files manually:
|
||
|
||
##### **windows\myapp.sln**
|
||
|
||
Add the _ReactNativeVideoCPP_ project to your solution (eg. `windows\myapp.sln`):
|
||
|
||
1. Open your solution in Visual Studio 2019
|
||
2. Right-click Solution icon in Solution Explorer > Add > Existing Project...
|
||
3. Select `node_modules\react-native-video\windows\ReactNativeVideoCPP\ReactNativeVideoCPP.vcxproj`
|
||
|
||
##### **windows\myapp\myapp.vcxproj**
|
||
|
||
Add a reference to _ReactNativeVideoCPP_ to your main application project (eg. `windows\myapp\myapp.vcxproj`):
|
||
|
||
1. Open your solution in Visual Studio 2019
|
||
2. Right-click main application project > Add > Reference...
|
||
3. Check _ReactNativeVideoCPP_ from Solution Projects
|
||
|
||
##### **pch.h**

||
|
||
Add `#include "winrt/ReactNativeVideoCPP.h"`.
|
||
|
||
##### **app.cpp**
|
||
|
||
Add `PackageProviders().Append(winrt::ReactNativeVideoCPP::ReactPackageProvider());` before `InitializeComponent();`.
|
||
|
||
**React Native Windows 0.61 and below**
|
||
|
||
Follow the manual linking instuctions for React Native Windows 0.62 above, but substitute _ReactNativeVideoCPP61_ for _ReactNativeVideoCPP_.

|
||
```
|
||
|
||
Note: On android, you need enable IMA SDK in gradle file, see: [enableclient side ads insertion](#enable-client-side-ads-insertion)
|
||
|
||
|
||
Platforms: Android, iOS
|
||
|
||
#### allowsExternalPlayback
|
||
Indicates whether the player allows switching to external playback mode such as AirPlay or HDMI.
|
||
* **true (default)** - allow switching to external playback mode
|
||
* **false** - Don't allow switching to external playback mode
|
||
|
||
Platforms: iOS
|
||
|
||
#### audioOnly
|
||
Indicates whether the player should only play the audio track and instead of displaying the video track, show the poster instead.
|
||
* **false (default)** - Display the video as normal
|
||
* **true** - Show the poster and play the audio
|
||
|
||
For this to work, the poster prop must be set.
|
||
|
||
Platforms: all
|
||
|
||
#### automaticallyWaitsToMinimizeStalling
|
||
A Boolean value that indicates whether the player should automatically delay playback in order to minimize stalling. For clients linked against iOS 10.0 and later
|
||
* **false** - Immediately starts playback
|
||
* **true (default)** - Delays playback in order to minimize stalling
|
||
|
||
Platforms: iOS
|
||
|
||
#### backBufferDurationMs
|
||
The number of milliseconds of buffer to keep before the current position. This allows rewinding without rebuffering within that duration.
|
||
|
||
Platforms: Android
|
||
|
||
#### bufferConfig
|
||
Adjust the buffer settings. This prop takes an object with one or more of the properties listed below.
|
||
|
||
Property | Type | Description
|
||
--- | --- | ---
|
||
minBufferMs | number | The default minimum duration of media that the player will attempt to ensure is buffered at all times, in milliseconds.
|
||
maxBufferMs | number | The default maximum duration of media that the player will attempt to buffer, in milliseconds.
|
||
bufferForPlaybackMs | number | The default duration of media that must be buffered for playback to start or resume following a user action such as a seek, in milliseconds.
|
||
bufferForPlaybackAfterRebufferMs | number | The default duration of media that must be buffered for playback to resume after a rebuffer, in milliseconds. A rebuffer is defined to be caused by buffer depletion rather than a user action.
|
||
maxHeapAllocationPercent | number | The percentage of available heap that the video can use to buffer, between 0 and 1
|
||
minBackBufferMemoryReservePercent | number | The percentage of available app memory at which during startup the back buffer will be disabled, between 0 and 1
|
||
minBufferMemoryReservePercent | number | The percentage of available app memory to keep in reserve that prevents buffer from using it, between 0 and 1
|
||
|
||
This prop should only be set when you are setting the source, changing it after the media is loaded will cause it to be reloaded.
|
||
|
||
Example with default values:
|
||
```
|
||
bufferConfig={{
|
||
minBufferMs: 15000,
|
||
maxBufferMs: 50000,
|
||
bufferForPlaybackMs: 2500,
|
||
bufferForPlaybackAfterRebufferMs: 5000
|
||
}}
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
Platforms: Android
|
||
|
||
#### currentPlaybackTime
|
||
When playing an HLS live stream with a `EXT-X-PROGRAM-DATE-TIME` tag configured, then this property will contain the epoch value in msec.
|
||
|
||

|
||
|
||
Note on iOS, controls are always shown when in fullscreen mode.
|
||
Note on Android, native controls are available by default.
|
||
If needed, you can also add your controls or use a package like [react-native-video-controls](https://github.com/itsnubix/react-native-video-controls) or [react-native-media-console](https://github.com/criszz77/react-native-media-console), see [Usefull Side Project](./docs/PROJECTS.md).
|
||
|
||
### contentStartTime
|
||
The start time in ms for SSAI content. This determines at what time to load the video info like resolutions. Use this only when you have SSAI stream where ads resolution is not the same as content resolution.
|
||
|
||
Platforms: Android, iOS
|
||
|
||
#### disableFocus
|
||
Determines whether video audio should override background music/audio in Android devices.
|
||
* **false (default)** - Override background audio/music

Platforms: Android
|
||
|
||
#### source
|
||
Sets the media source. You can pass an asset loaded via require or an object with a uri.
|
||
|
||
Setting the source will trigger the player to attempt to load the provided media with all other given props. Please be sure that all props are provided before/at the same time as setting the source.
|
||
|
||
Rendering the player component with a null source will init the player, and start playing once a source value is provided.
|
||
|
||
Providing a null source value after loading a previous source will stop playback, and clear out the previous source content.
|
||
|
||
The docs for this prop are incomplete and will be updated as each option is investigated and tested.
|
||
|
||
|
||
##### Asset loaded via require
|
||
|
||
Example:
|
||
```
|
||
const sintel = require('./sintel.mp4');
|
||
|
||
source={sintel}
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
##### URI string
|
||
|
||
A number of URI schemes are supported by passing an object with a `uri` attribute.
|
||
|
||
###### Web address (http://, https://)
|
||
|
||
Example:
|
||
```
|
||
source={{uri: 'https://www.sample-videos.com/video/mp4/720/big_buck_bunny_720p_10mb.mp4' }}
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
Platforms: all
|
||
|
||
###### File path (file://)
|
||
|
||
Example:
|
||
```
|
||
source={{ uri: 'file:///sdcard/Movies/sintel.mp4' }}
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
Note: Your app will need to request permission to read external storage if you're accessing a file outside your app.
|
||
|
||
Platforms: Android, possibly others
|
||
|
||
###### iPod Library (ipod-library://)
|
||

Platforms: iOS
|
||
|
||
##### Explicit mimetype for the stream
|
||
|
||
Provide a member `type` with value (`mpd`/`m3u8`/`ism`) inside the source object.
|
||
Sometimes is needed when URL extension does not match with the mimetype that you are expecting, as seen on the next example. (Extension is .ism -smooth streaming- but file served is on format mpd -mpeg dash-)
|
||
|
||
Example:
|
||
```
|
||
source={{ uri: 'http://host-serving-a-type-different-than-the-extension.ism/manifest(format=mpd-time-csf)',
|
||
type: 'mpd' }}
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
###### Other protocols
|
||
|
||
The following other types are supported on some platforms, but aren't fully documented yet:
|
||
`content://, ms-appx://, ms-appdata://, assets-library://`
|
||
|
||
|
||
##### Playing only a portion of the video (start & end time)

||
|
||
Property | Description
|
||
--- | ---
|
||
title | Descriptive name for the track
|
||
language | 2 letter [ISO 639-1 code](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_ISO_639-1_codes) representing the language

Notes:
|
||
- Currently only supports highest quality export
|
||
- Currently only supports MP4 export

|
||
- If the video is has not began buffering (e.g. there is no internet connection) then the save function will throw an error.
|
||
- If the video is buffering then the save function promise will return after the video has finished buffering and processing.
|
||
|
||
Future:
|
||
- Will support multiple qualities through options
|
||
- Will support more formats in the future through options
|
||
- Will support custom directory and file name through options

By default iOS seeks within 100 milliseconds of the target position. If you need more accuracy, you can use the seek with tolerance method:
|
||
|
||
`seek(seconds, tolerance)`
|
||
|
||
tolerance is the max distance in milliseconds from the seconds position that's allowed. Using a more exact tolerance can cause seeks to take longer. If you want to seek exactly, set tolerance to 0.
|
||
|
||
Example:
|
||
```
|
||
this.player.seek(120, 50); // Seek to 2 minutes with +/- 50 milliseconds accuracy
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
Platforms: iOS
|
||
|
||
#### Static methods
|
||
|
||
### Video Decoding capabilities
|
||
|
||
A module embed in ReactNativeVideo allow to query device supported feature.
|
||
To use it include the module as following:
|
||
```javascript
|
||
import { VideoDecoderProperties } from '@ifs/react-native-video-enhanced'
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
Platforms: Android
|
||
|
||
#### getWidevineLevel
|
||
|
||
Indicates whether the widevine level supported by device.
|
||
|
||
Possible results:
|
||
- **0** - unable to determine widevine support (typically not supported)
|
||
- **1**, **2**, **3** - Widevine level supported
|
||
|
||
Platforms: Android
|
||
|
||
Example:
|
||
|
||
```
|
||
VideoDecoderProperties.getWidevineLevel().then((widevineLevel) => {
|
||
...
|
||
}
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
#### isCodecSupported
|
||
|
||
Indicates whether the provided codec is supported level supported by device.
|
||
|
||
parameters:
|
||
- **mimetype**: mime type of codec to query
|
||
- **width**, **height**: resolution to query
|
||
|
||
Possible results:
|
||
- **true** - codec supported
|
||
- **false** - codec is not supported
|
||
|
||
Example:
|
||
```
|
||
VideoDecoderProperties.isCodecSupported('video/avc', 1920, 1080).then(
|
||
...
|
||
}
|
||
```
|
||
Platforms: Android
|
||
|
||
#### isHEVCSupported
|
||
|
||
Helper which Indicates whether the provided HEVC/1920*1080 is supported level supported by device.
|
||
It uses isCodecSupported internally.
|
||
|
||
Example:
|
||
```
|
||
VideoDecoderProperties.isHEVCSupported().then((hevcSupported) => {
|
||
...
|
||
}
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
### iOS App Transport Security
|
||
|
||
- By default, iOS will only load encrypted (https) urls. If you want to load content from an unencrypted (http) source, you will need to modify your Info.plist file and add the following entry:
|
||
|
||
<img src="./docs/AppTransportSecuritySetting.png" width="50%">
|
||
|
||
For more detailed info check this [article](https://cocoacasts.com/how-to-add-app-transport-security-exception-domains)
|
||
</details>
|
||
|
||
### Audio Mixing
|
||
|
||
At some point in the future, react-native-video will include an Audio Manager for configuring how videos mix with other apps playing sounds on the device.
|
||
|
||
On iOS, if you would like to allow other apps to play music over your video component, make the following change:
|
||
|
||
**AppDelegate.m**
|
||
|
||
```objective-c
|
||
#import <AVFoundation/AVFoundation.h> // import
|
||
|
||
- (BOOL)application:(UIApplication *)application didFinishLaunchingWithOptions:(NSDictionary *)launchOptions
|
||
{
|
||
...
|
||
[[AVAudioSession sharedInstance] setCategory:AVAudioSessionCategoryAmbient error:nil]; // allow
|
||
...
|
||
}
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
You can also use the [ignoreSilentSwitch](#ignoresilentswitch) prop.
|
||
</details>
|
||
|
||
### Android Expansion File Usage
|
||
Expansions files allow you to ship assets that exceed the 100MB apk size limit and don't need to be updated each time you push an app update.
|
||
|
||
This only supports mp4 files and they must not be compressed. Example command line for preventing compression:
|
||
```bash
|
||
zip -r -n .mp4 *.mp4 player.video.example.com
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
```javascript
|
||
// Within your render function, assuming you have a file called
|
||
// "background.mp4" in your expansion file. Just add your main and (if applicable) patch version
|
||
<Video source={{uri: "background", mainVer: 1, patchVer: 0}} // Looks for .mp4 file (background.mp4) in the given expansion version.
|
||
resizeMode="cover" // Fill the whole screen at aspect ratio.
|
||
style={styles.backgroundVideo} />
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
### Load files with the RN Asset System
|
||
|
||
The asset system [introduced in RN `0.14`](http://www.reactnative.com/react-native-v0-14-0-released/) allows loading image resources shared across iOS and Android without touching native code. As of RN `0.31` [the same is true](https://github.com/facebook/react-native/commit/91ff6868a554c4930fd5fda6ba8044dbd56c8374) of mp4 video assets for Android. As of [RN `0.33`](https://github.com/facebook/react-native/releases/tag/v0.33.0) iOS is also supported. Requires `react-native-video@0.9.0`.
|
||
|
||
```javascript
|
||
<Video
|
||
source={require('../assets/video/turntable.mp4')}
|
||
/>
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
### Play in background on iOS
|
||
|
||
To enable audio to play in background on iOS the audio session needs to be set to `AVAudioSessionCategoryPlayback`. See [Apple documentation][3] for additional details. (NOTE: there is now a ticket to [expose this as a prop]( https://github.com/react-native-community/react-native-video/issues/310) )
|
||
|
||
## Examples
|
||
|
||
- See an [Example integration][1] in `react-native-login` *note that this example uses an older version of this library, before we used `export default` -- if you use `require` you will need to do `require('react-native-video').default` as per instructions above.*
|
||
- Try the included [VideoPlayer example][2] yourself:
|
||
|
||
```sh
|
||
git clone git@github.com:react-native-community/react-native-video.git
|
||
cd react-native-video/example
|
||
npm install
|
||
open ios/VideoPlayer.xcodeproj
|
||
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
Then `Cmd+R` to start the React Packager, build and run the project in the simulator.
|
||
|
||
- [Lumpen Radio](https://github.com/jhabdas/lumpen-radio) contains another example integration using local files and full screen background video.
|
||
|
||
## Updating
|
||
|
||
### Version 6.0.0
|
||
|
||
#### iOS
|
||
|
||
In your project Podfile add support for static dependency linking. This is required to support the new Promises subdependency in the iOS swift conversion.
|
||
|
||
Add `use_frameworks! :linkage => :static` just under `platform :ios` in your ios project Podfile.
|
||
|
||
[See the example ios project for reference](examples/basic/ios/Podfile#L5)
|
||
|
||
### Version 5.0.0
|
||
|
||
Probably you want to update your gradle version:
|
||
#### gradle-wrapper.properties
|
||
```diff
|
||
- distributionUrl=https\://services.gradle.org/distributions/gradle-3.3-all.zip
|
||
+ distributionUrl=https\://services.gradle.org/distributions/gradle-5.1.1-all.zip
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
#### **android/app/build.gradle**
|
||
|
||
From version >= 5.0.0, you have to apply this changes:
|
||
|
||
```diff
|
||
dependencies {
|
||
...
|
||
compile project(':react-native-video')
|
||
+ implementation "androidx.appcompat:appcompat:1.0.0"
|
||
- implementation "com.android.support:appcompat-v7:${rootProject.ext.supportLibVersion}"
|
||
|
||
}
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
#### **android/gradle.properties**
|
||
|
||
Migrating to AndroidX (needs version >= 5.0.0):
|
||
|
||
```gradle.properties
|
||
android.useAndroidX=true
|
||
android.enableJetifier=true
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
### Version 4.0.0
|
||
|
||
#### Gradle 3 and target SDK 26 requirement
|
||
In order to support ExoPlayer 2.9.0, you must use version 3 or higher of the Gradle plugin. This is included by default in React Native 0.57.
|
||
|
||
#### ExoPlayer 2.9.0 Java 1.8 requirement
|
||
ExoPlayer 2.9.0 uses some Java 1.8 features, so you may need to enable support for Java 1.8 in your app/build.gradle file. If you get an error, compiling with ExoPlayer like:
|
||
`Default interface methods are only supported starting with Android N (--min-api 24)`
|
||
|
||
Add the following to your app/build.gradle file:
|
||
```
|
||
android {
|
||
... // Various other settings go here
|
||
compileOptions {
|
||
targetCompatibility JavaVersion.VERSION_1_8
|
||
}
|
||
}
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
#### ExoPlayer no longer detaches
|
||
When using a router like the react-navigation TabNavigator, switching between tab routes would previously cause ExoPlayer to detach causing the video player to pause. We now don't detach the view, allowing the video to continue playing in a background tab. This matches the behavior for iOS.
|
||
|
||
#### useTextureView now defaults to true
|
||
The SurfaceView, which ExoPlayer has been using by default has a number of quirks that people are unaware of and often cause issues. This includes not supporting animations or scaling. It also causes strange behavior if you overlay two videos on top of each other, because the SurfaceView will [punch a hole](https://developer.android.com/reference/android/view/SurfaceView) through other views. Since TextureView doesn't have these issues and behaves in the way most developers expect, it makes sense to make it the default.
|
||
|
||
TextureView is not as fast as SurfaceView, so you may still want to enable SurfaceView support. To do this, you can set `useTextureView={false}`.
|
||
|
||
|
||
### Version 3.0.0
|
||
|
||
#### All platforms now auto-play
|
||
Previously, on Android ExoPlayer if the paused prop was not set, the media would not automatically start playing. The only way it would work was if you set `paused={false}`. This has been changed to automatically play if paused is not set so that the behavior is consistent across platforms.
|
||
|
||
#### All platforms now keep their paused state when returning from the background
|
||
Previously, on Android MediaPlayer if you setup an AppState event when the app went into the background and set a paused prop so that when you returned to the app the video would be paused it would be ignored.
|
||
|
||
Note, Windows does not have a concept of an app going into the background, so this doesn't apply there.
|
||
|
||
#### Use Android target SDK 27 by default
|
||
Version 3.0 updates the Android build tools and SDK to version 27. React Native is in the process of [switchting over](https://github.com/facebook/react-native/issues/18095#issuecomment-395596130) to SDK 27 in preparation for Google's requirement that new Android apps [use SDK 26](https://android-developers.googleblog.com/2017/12/improving-app-security-and-performance.html) by August 2018.
|
||
|
||
You will either need to install the version 27 SDK and version 27.0.3 buildtools or modify your build.gradle file to configure react-native-video to use the same build settings as the rest of your app as described below.
|
||
|
||
##### Using app build settings
|
||
You will need to create a `project.ext` section in the top-level build.gradle file (not app/build.gradle). Fill in the values from the example below using the values found in your app/build.gradle file.
|
||
```
|
||
// Top-level build file where you can add configuration options common to all sub-projects/modules.
|
||
|
||
buildscript {
|
||
... // Various other settings go here
|
||
}
|
||
|
||
allprojects {
|
||
... // Various other settings go here
|
||
|
||
project.ext {
|
||
compileSdkVersion = 31
|
||
buildToolsVersion = "30.0.2"
|
||
|
||
minSdkVersion = 21
|
||
targetSdkVersion = 22
|
||
}
|
||
}
|
||
```
|
||
If you encounter an error `Could not find com.android.support:support-annotations:27.0.0.` reinstall your Android Support Repository.
