About React Native inside your existing Android App
summary
Claims React Native can replace painful webviews by inserting JS-driven UI into an existing Android app and rendering real native widgets; demo shows a mixed app with a 7 MB empty apk, a working packager using adb reverse tcp, Buck for full RN builds, Flow for types, and CodePush by Microsoft for JS updates without Play Store releases. Shows native bindings—toast native module working via events—react-native-maps and navigation libs, and warns ecosystem is pre-1.0 with frequent breaking changes.
