react-native-camera-android-simple's Issues

Doesn't handle multiple instance

The system crash when multiple camera are open (e.g nested navigation). This can be fixed by having a better handling of the surface & camera lifecycle.

Does video recording supported in this?

Need to update library

PropTypes is not part of react anymore.
It needs to be imported from 'prop-types'

react-native 0.42 fail
