Vibrate Feedback

Targets iOS
1

When a user touches the screen/button what are the feedback options to show it is touched?

  • Change the look of the area
  • Play a sound
    are these the only 2 ways or can you make the phone vibrate?

Sorry didn’t show up on first search
Public Sub Vibrate()
Const kSystemSoundID_Vibrate = 4095
Declare Sub AudioServicesPlaySystemSound Lib “AudioToolbox.framework” (snd As Integer)
AudioServicesPlaySystemSound(kSystemSoundID_Vibrate)
End Sub

That is not the way to do it.

I’ll post some code later today

You will need to use iOSKit: https://github.com/kingj5/iOSKit

Then have an instance of one of the following:
-UIKit.UIImpactFeedbackGenerator
-UIKit.UISelectionFeedbackGenerator
-UIKit.UINotificationFeedbackGenerator

All of these classes have a Prepare and a Trigger method.
The Prepare (optional) tells the haptic engine to prepare for a trigger and only needs to be called once (per trigger style) in the lifecycle of the app. If Prepare is never called, the first call to Trigger will have a few 100 milliseconds delay.
