VolumeSlider-class to control iOS device volume.
Also tried to add an UISlider to your application to control the volume of the iOS device/your application? Discovered the MPVolumeView-class and noticed the limitations?
Apple is offering us a MPVolumeView-class. This view contains a UISlider we can add easily on a view in our application,
allowing the user to manage the volume, but there are some limitations
-
The interface: This view looks like a Mac OS X slider but on iOS. The slider has big differences to a normal iOS slider. See an example at http://joong.org/uploads/iPhone2waystocontrolvolume_DDD4/capture1.png . See the differences between both sliders? Since the MPVolumeView is a custom class, we are not able to modify this class easily
-
Another limitation is the possibility to change the volume via code.
The CMVolumeSlider is a small wrapper converting the MPVolumeView to a normal UISlider, which can be themed quite easily. It allows us to add a normal UISlider on our application that will take care of the volume control. Simply add the class to your project and add a CMVolumeSlider to an existing view (via code or InterfaceBuilder) and done.
