In attempts to dynamically add youtube videos to my React Native app, I chose to use a combination of WebView and iFrame since the current react-native-youtube component doesn't work for RN 16^. Ultimately, the solution does work, but the iframe border still shows and will not go away (even with css or frameborder = 0), nor can I change it's color with css. Any ideas? Here's my code:
video-preview component (where users can see video, title, etc before tapping):
module.exports = React.createClass({
render: function() {
return (
<TouchableHighlight
style={styles.touchCard}
underlayColor={'transparent'}
onPress={this.props.onPress} >
<View style={styles.card}>
<WebView
style={styles.videoPreview}
automaticallyAdjustContentInsets={true}
scrollEnabled={false}
style={styles.videoPreview}
html={this.props.source}
renderLoading={this.renderLoading}
renderError={this.renderError}
automaticallyAdjustContentInsets={false} />
<View style={[styles.container, this.border('organge')]}>
<View style={[styles.header, this.border('blue')]}>
<Text style={[styles.previewText]}>{this.props.text}</Text>
</View>
<View style={[styles.footer, this.border('white')]}>
<View style={styles.sourceRow}>
<View style={[this.border('white')]}>
<ImageButton
style={[styles.logoBtn, , this.border('red'), styles.row]}
resizeMode={'contain'}
onPress={this.onHeartPress}
source={this.props.src} />
</View>
<View style={[this.border('white')]}>
<Text style={[styles.rowText, {fontWeight: 'bold'}]}>{this.props.entryBrand}</Text>
<Text style={[styles.rowText]}>{this.props.views}</Text>
</View>
</View>
<View style={[styles.heartRow, this.border('black')]}>
<KeywordBox
style={[styles.category, this.border('blue')]}
key={this.props.key}
text={this.props.category}
onPress={this.props.categoryPress}
selected={this.props.selected} />
</View>
</View>
</View>
</View>
</TouchableHighlight>
);
Which looks like this:
And the input iframe html into the webview looks like this:
<iframe style='border: 0;border-width: 0px;' scrolling='no' frameborder='0' width='320' height='300' src='https://www.youtube.com/embed/2B_QP9JGD7Q'></iframe>
Here's my styling:
