I\'m working on a project in which it is really necessary to access the ambient light sensor.
I searched a lot in Google and Stackoverflow, but couldn\'t find any usefu
I solve this problem With access to the camera
- (void)captureOutput:(AVCaptureOutput *)captureOutput didOutputSampleBuffer:(CMSampleBufferRef)sampleBuffer fromConnection: (AVCaptureConnection *)connection
{
CFDictionaryRef metadataDict = CMCopyDictionaryOfAttachments(NULL,
sampleBuffer, kCMAttachmentMode_ShouldPropagate);
NSDictionary *metadata = [[NSMutableDictionary alloc]
initWithDictionary:(__bridge NSDictionary*)metadataDict];
CFRelease(metadataDict);
NSDictionary *exifMetadata = [[metadata objectForKey:(NSString *)kCGImagePropertyExifDictionary] mutableCopy];
float brightnessValue = [[exifMetadata objectForKey:(NSString *)kCGImagePropertyExifBrightnessValue] floatValue];
//THIS IS INFORMATION THAT COMES FROM THE SENSOR
_Sensor = [[NSNumber numberWithFloat:brightnessValue] stringValue];
NSLog(@" %@",_Sensor);
dispatch_time_t popTime = dispatch_time(DISPATCH_TIME_NOW, 0.5 * NSEC_PER_SEC);
dispatch_after(popTime, dispatch_get_main_queue(), ^(void){
if ([_Sensor isEqualToString:@"-5.575654"]) {
// YOU CODE HER
}
else {
// YOU CODE HER
}
});
}
