How to use gallery with video?
Are there examples of use or is this component just for Images? Because the item's gestures overlap the video player's gestures
Videos are just like regular views, they're not special at all, however every touch will be taken over by Gesture Handler because that's what it is, a common pattern you'll see in apps is that the controls are not attached to the video component itself, they are more like a transparent absolute positioned view overlayed in top of the gallery, Telegram has this behaviour for instance.
Even if touches were not intercepted by Gesture Handler, video's controls would be scaled along with the video providing a poor user experience.
As of today you've gotta find your way around what you need as I rework the gallery example into a mixed one, I'll leave this issue open until the rework is done.
I've modified the gallery example into a mix of both images and videos, however building your own controls is an annoying task and it has to be this be this way because of what I said on my last comment about video views, so yeah using native controls is a not a realistic option for any type of gallery.
You can try it out yourself on the example app.
Thank you
