Deprecated

VolumeBar is now deprecated. iOS now includes a non-intrusive volume indicator, so apps should stop using VolumeBar.

VolumeBar

VolumeBar is a Swift volume indicator that doesn't obstruct content on screen.

Usage

It's super easy to add VolumeBar to your app:

let volumeBar = VolumeBar.shared
volumeBar.style = .likeInstagram
volumeBar.start()

Customize appearance attributes (see VolumeBarStyle):

let volumeBar = VolumeBar.shared
var customStyle = VolumeBarStyle.likeInstagram
customStyle.trackTintColor = .white
customStyle.trackTintColor = .darkGray
customStyle.backgroundColor = .black
volumeBar.style = customStyle

Or even use custom animations (see VolumeBarAnimation):

let volumeBar = VolumeBar.shared
let fadeInAnimation = VolumeBarAnimation({ (view, completion) in
	view.alpha = 0
	UIView.animate(withDuration: 0.2, animations: {
		view.alpha = 1
	}, completion: completion)
})
volumeBar.showAnimation = fadeInAnimation

Background Audio

If your app doesn't do custom audio handling, adding VolumeBar will make background music (like Spotify) pause when your app is opened.

Prevent this by adding the following wherever you call VolumeBar.shared.start():

try! AVAudioSession.sharedInstance().setCategory(AVAudioSessionCategoryAmbient)
