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.

      {
           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];
     }
   }
}

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 = { ...

How I Reduced the Size of My React Native App by 85%

Each binary weighs around 25 MB regardless of your app. So the first thing I did was to migrate my existing Expo app to React Native. Migrating to React Native react-native init  a new project with the same name Copy the  source  files over from Expo project Install all de...
