Linking native library means that you are going to integrate already implemented module into your application or module which completes your react native's module functionality for eg: if you prepare a video player board with all the controls so in order to play the music you have to integrate react-native video (3rd party) because there is no inbuild lib. in react native. After integrating video lib you are good to go to play.
Steps to integrate lib(android):
1) Add package name to new packages() 2) Add dependencies to settings.gradle file and main application's gradle i.e app/gradle file. 3) sync the projects gradle because you made changes in the gradle and it's done.
After cloning/downloading the project:
1) Go to your project's home dir using cmd. 2) run npm install 3) Thereafter run rnpm link or react-native link 4) see ios folder in your project folder and if you find any pod file then run pod install after navigating into ios folder in cmd.
Cheers :)

Thanks for the response.What about using
react-native link ? How is it useful ?And if I downloaded a project, how can I link it ?

Using react-native link or rnpm link is similar to integrating 3rd party but automatically. Please go through the edit.

Using
react-native link shows me command not found. Any suggestions?Codesingh
please check you are running the command in the project's dir or you might be running the command without running npm install.

Thanks for your guidance.I managed to link the project.So all the code changes in
.java files are visible.Do I have to do manual changes in gradle and androidmanifest.xml files?I believe Linking does not changes the permissions ?
