I have a blog post sharing my experience Building A Native Soundcloud Android App With React Native And Redux

In an effort to learn es6 and redux, react-native this is SoundRedux Native, a simple Soundcloud native client.

This repo is stolen from the awesome soundredux project by @andrewngu , I've been using it instead of the official Soundclould client for a week.

What I've learned

• Having redux as the data layer, it takes no effort to switch the view layer from DOM to react-native
• Writing CSS with flexbox is easy than normal CSS
• Building a native module for react-native is simple and straightforword thanks to the effort and nice design from Facebook
• Soundcloud API is awesome

Currently only focused on Android developement because I don't have an iOS device and it's only fun when your code running on your own device.

The code is still a mess with ES6 + ES5 code mixed together. And I haven't done import all the features from soundredux and some of the code is even not used yet.

Developement

1. npm install
2. Check Android Setup
3. react-native run-android

Feedback, issues, etc. are more than welcome!

TODO

• InfinteScroll to load more songs
• To be able to switch genre
• Clean up code
• A modal to display song detail like the official client
• iOS

Notes:

To run it on a real device, bundle the jsfile into the apk by running:

• create an assets folder under android/app/src/main
• curl "http://localhost:8081/index.android.bundle?platform=android" -o "android/app/src/main/assets/index.android.bundle"

Thanks to my awesome colleague @xeodou who build the native Android player react-native-playermodule on top of ExoPlayer.
