How can I find out what the cur

Answer 1

I have prepared a class with static methods in order to deal with the volume of ios devices. Let me share with you :)

import AVFoundation
class HeadPhoneDetectHelper {
class func isHeadPhoneConnected() -> Bool
{
    do{
        let audioSession = AVAudioSession.sharedInstance()
        try audioSession.setActive(true)
        let currentRoute = audioSession.currentRoute
        let headPhonePortDescriptionArray = currentRoute.outputs.filter{$0.portType == AVAudioSessionPortHeadphones}
        let isHeadPhoneConnected = headPhonePortDescriptionArray.count != 0
        return isHeadPhoneConnected
    }catch{
        print("Error while checking head phone connection : \(error)")
    }
    return false
}

class func isVolumeLevelAppropriate() -> Bool
{
    let minimumVolumeLevelToAccept = 100
    let currentVolumeLevel = HeadPhoneDetectHelper.getVolumeLevelAsPercentage()
    let isVolumeLevelAppropriate = currentVolumeLevel >= minimumVolumeLevelToAccept
    return isVolumeLevelAppropriate
}

class func getVolumeLevelAsPercentage() -> Int
{
    do{
        let audioSession = AVAudioSession.sharedInstance()
        try audioSession.setActive(true)
        let audioVolume =  audioSession.outputVolume
        let audioVolumePercentage = audioVolume * 100
        return Int(audioVolumePercentage)
    }catch{
        print("Error while getting volume level \(error)")
    }
    return 0
}
}
