React-native: Accessing video files from CameraRoll on Android

[cubbuk]

Is it possible to retrieve video files from cameraRoll on Android?. I see there is a groupTypes prop but it is not working for Android. I already asked a question on stackoverflow; but I couldn't get any answer. http://stackoverflow.com/questions/38104131/react-native-using-cameraroll

I tried setting the mimeTypes in fetch params as follows: mimeTypes: ["image/jpeg", "video/mp4", "video/mpeg"] but it didn't work out either.

Am I missing something, I would appreciate any help.

Thanks

Seems like android version only checks images table from sqlite. I extended the current cameraRoll to also retrieve videos, its a bit dirty solution but it solves the problem for now. Basically it checks Files table rather than Images table. Here is the gist for that: https://gist.github.com/cubbuk/70e0841ec5e0ebfe80c6f747eb973216
