Getting ready

In order to follow the steps in this recipe, let's create a new application. We're going to name it fake-video-player.

We're going to display a few images in our application to mimic a video player, so you'll need corresponding images for your application. I recommend using the icons I used by downloading them from the repository for this recipe on GitHub at https://github.com/warlyware/react-native-cookbook/tree/master/chapter-2/fake-video-player/images.
