Flashlight with one Button





Objective

How to turn ON/OFF camera flashlight in iOS, this is our main objective. There are so many users; those are using turn on flashlight with one button and turn off flashlight with another. But here I want to do it with a single button only.
Follow the below mentioned step in order to implement flash light in iOS:

Step 1 Create Xcode Project

First of all create xCode project named it FlashLightDemo and saved it. This project will contain one View Controller, which will become main view controller.

Step 2 Add frameworks

To implement flash light we required AVFoundation framework. The AVFoundation framework is responsible for management and interaction with audio-visual media in iOS applications. AVFoundation framework needs to link to your application.
For that go to project, now select build Phases tab, and then go to Link Binary with Library, Add framework as following. 
av foundation framework

Step 3 Design UI

Design User Interface describe as per the following screen.

Step 4 Code for Flashing

Write following function to the tap event of above mentioned button.
- (IBAction)btnFlashOnClicked:(id)sender
{
     AVCaptureDevice *flashLight = [AVCaptureDevice defaultDeviceWithMediaType:AVMediaTypeVideo];
     if ([flashLight isTorchAvailable] && [flashLight isTorchModeSupported:AVCaptureTorchModeOn])
      {
           BOOL success = [flashLight lockForConfiguration:nil];
           if (success)
           {
               if ([flashLight isTorchActive])
               {
                   [btnFlash setTitle:@"TURN ON" forState:UIControlStateNormal];
                   [flashLight setTorchMode:AVCaptureTorchModeOff];
              } else {
                  [btnFlash setTitle:@"TURN OFF" forState:UIControlStateNormal];
                  [flashLight setTorchMode:AVCaptureTorchModeOn];
             }
         [flashLight unlockForConfiguration];
     }
   }
}
I hope you found this blog helpful while working Flashlight with one button. Let me know if you have any questions or concerns regarding iOS, please put a comment here and we will get back to you ASAP.

React Native - Text Input

In this chapter, we will show you how to work with  TextInput  elements in React Native. The Home component will import and render inputs. App.js import React from 'react' ; import Inputs from './inputs.js' const App = () => { return ( < Inputs /> ) } export default App Inputs We will define the initial state. After defining the initial state, we will create the  handleEmail  and the  handlePassword  functions. These functions are used for updating state. The  login()  function will just alert the current value of the state. We will also add some other properties to text inputs to disable auto capitalisation, remove the bottom border on Android devices and set a placeholder. inputs.js import React , { Component } from 'react' import { View , Text , TouchableOpacity , TextInput , StyleSheet } from 'react-native' class Inputs extends Component { state = { ...

An introduction to Size Classes for Xcode 8

Introduction to Size Classes for Xcode In iOS 8, Apple introduced  size classes , a way to describe any device in any orientation. Size classes rely heavily on auto layout. Until iOS 8, you could escape auto layout. IN iOS8, Apple changed several UIKit classes to depend on size classes. Modal views, popovers, split views, and image assets directly use size classes to determine how to display an image. Identical code to present a popover on an iPad  causes a iPhone to present a modal view. Different Size Classes There are two sizes for size classes:  compact , and  regular . Sometime you’ll hear about any.  Any  is the generic size that works with anything. The default Xcode layout, is  width:any height:any . This layout is for all cases. The Horizontal and vertical dimensions are called  traits , and can be accessed in code from an instance of  UITraitCollection . The  compact  size descr...

No matter what iOS user is using, you can get the UDID of the current iOS device by following code. - ( NSString *)UDID { NSString *uuidString = nil ; // get os version NSUInteger currentOSVersion = [[[[[UIDevice currentDevice ] systemVersion ] componentsSeparatedByString: @" . " ] objectAtIndex: 0 ] integerValue ]; if (currentOSVersion <= 5 ) { if ([[ NSUserDefaults standardUserDefaults ] valueForKey: @" udid " ]) { uuidString = [[ NSUserDefaults standardDefaults ] valueForKey: @" udid " ]; } else { CFUUIDRef uuidRef = CFUUIDCreate ( kCFAllocatorDefault ); uuidString = ( NSString *) CFBridgingRelease ( CFUUIDCreateString ( NULL ,uuidRef)); CFRelease (uuidRef); [[ NSUserDefaults standardUserDefaults ] setObject: uuidString ForKey: @" udid " ]; [[ NSUserDefaults standardUserDefaults ] synchro...
