React-native-gallery-manager NPM

Gallery Manager

Gallery manager for iOS and Android

Installation

npm install --save react-native-gallery-manager

yarn add react-native-gallery-manager

and then

react-native link

NOTE: If you are using CameraRoll from react-native, you have to unlink it before using this library

Issues

If the image is not being shown in Android try the following increase fresco memory resizeMethod='resize' to the Image component removeClippedSubviews={true} to ScrollView (FlatList, SectionList) android:largeHeap="true" to the android manifest.xml in the application section (I dont recommend that but, you got to do, what you got to do....)

  type: 'video',

}

The reason the library is returning the path of the file in this format is that the video can be send later to server with fetch library. If the url starts with assets-library:// not with file:// react-native will not send it.
