Let's get things started by figuring out how to actually load images. You can render the <Image> component and pass it properties just like any other React component. But this particular component needs image blob data to be of any use. Let's look at some code:
import React, { PropTypes } from 'react';
import {
AppRegistry,
View,
Image,
} from 'react-native';
import styles from './styles';
// Renders two "<Image>" components, passing the
// properties of this component to the "source"
// property of each image.
const LoadingImages = ({
reactSource,
relaySource,
}) => (
<View style={styles.container}>
<Image
style={styles.image}
source={reactSource}
/>
<Image
style={styles.image}
source={relaySource}
/>
</View>
);
