iOS - Audio & Video

Movie and sound is quite typical in the newest gadgets. It is reinforced in iOS with the help of AVFoundation.framework and MediaPlayer.framework respectively.

Steps Involved

Step 1. Create a simple View based application.

Step 2. Select your project file, select targets, and then we should addAVFoundation.framework and MediaPlayer.framework.

Step 3. Add two control buttons in ViewController.xib and make an action for enjoying video and sound respectively.

Step 4. Update ViewController.h as follows −

#import <UIKit/UIKit.h>
#import <AVFoundation/AVFoundation.h>
#import <MediaPlayer/MediaPlayer.h>

@interface ViewController : UIViewController
{
    AVAudioPlayer *audioPlayer;
    MPMoviePlayerViewController *moviePlayer;
    
}
-(IBAction)playAudio:(id)sender;
-(IBAction)playVideo:(id)sender;
@end

Step 5. Update ViewController.m as follows −

#import "ViewController.h"

@interface ViewController ()

@end

@implementation ViewController

- (void)viewDidLoad
{
    [super viewDidLoad];
}

- (void)didReceiveMemoryWarning
{
   [super didReceiveMemoryWarning];
   // Dispose of any resources that can be recreated.
}
-(IBAction)playAudio:(id)sender{
   NSString *path = [[NSBundle mainBundle]
   pathForResource:@"audioTest" ofType:@"mp3"];
   audioPlayer = [[AVAudioPlayer alloc]initWithContentsOfURL:
   [NSURL fileURLWithPath:path] error:NULL];
   [audioPlayer play];
}
-(IBAction)playVideo:(id)sender{
   NSString *path = [[NSBundle mainBundle]pathForResource:
   @"videoTest" ofType:@"mov"];
   moviePlayer = [[MPMoviePlayerViewController 
   alloc]initWithContentURL:[NSURL fileURLWithPath:path]];
   [self presentModalViewController:moviePlayer animated:NO];
}
@end
