how to run vibrate continuously in iphone?
Thankfully, it's not possible to change the duration of the vibration. The only way to trigger the vibration is to play the kSystemSoundID_Vibrate
as you have. If you really want to though, what you can do is to repeat the vibration indefinitely, resulting in a pulsing vibration effect instead of a long continuous one. To do this, you need to register a callback function that will get called when the vibration sound that you play is complete:
AudioServicesAddSystemSoundCompletion (
kSystemSoundID_Vibrate,
NULL,
NULL,
MyAudioServicesSystemSoundCompletionProc,
NULL
);
AudioServicesPlaySystemSound(kSystemSoundID_Vibrate);
Then you define your callback function to replay the vibrate sound again:
#pragma mark AudioService callback function prototypes
void MyAudioServicesSystemSoundCompletionProc (
SystemSoundID ssID,
void *clientData
);
#pragma mark AudioService callback function implementation
// Callback that gets called after we finish buzzing, so we
// can buzz a second time.
void MyAudioServicesSystemSoundCompletionProc (
SystemSoundID ssID,
void *clientData
) {
if (iShouldKeepBuzzing) { // Your logic here...
AudioServicesPlaySystemSound(kSystemSoundID_Vibrate);
} else {
//Unregister, so we don't get called again...
AudioServicesRemoveSystemSoundCompletion(kSystemSoundID_Vibrate);
}
}
There are numerous examples that show how to do this with a private CoreTelephony call: _CTServerConnectionSetVibratorState
, but it's really not a sensible course of action since your app will get rejected for abusing the vibrate feature like that. Just don't do it.
