"controls" support for ios & "fullscreen" support for Android

[louislai]

Right now, react-native-video supports opening a fullscreen player on ios using presentFullScreenPlayer, but this option is missing in android. Similarly, I can toggle a native player controls using the controls prop, but this only works on Android.
Would be really nice if someone can implement native controls in iOS, and fullscreen player for Android inside the react-native-video package.

I tried to hack together a fullscreen player for android by creating a new Activity with a SurfaceView to display the video output. To stop the video from reloading I store the MediaPlayer object as a singleton https://github.com/louislai/react-native-video/blob/master/android/src/main/java/com/brentvatne/react/FullScreenVideoActivity.java
However, I hope that someone can give a more general and proper solution.

I believe this is what you want although it comes a little late, I see this issue just now, in issue #534 , I also posted my solution.

Is this bounty still up for taking?
