My issue is simple to understand, when I used a library called "React-native-video", it's working perfectly in ios, but in android, it's not working great. In Android, I cannot show default video controls like play, pause button, play time etc. for more info please see attached image. I clearly differentiated with my issue. with a control, an image is an iOS device and without controls images in android device.

I believe this was answered in #1278
@cobarx mentioned that iOS provides default set of media controls while Android does not. You can build your own or use an existing module like react-native-media-controls.

Opened a PR (#1414) for showing the controls in Android Exoplayer.

Video control prop is working on ios but not on android using react native modal.
