I've successfully managed to get music controls in lockscreen while playing with AVPlayer but the issue is that I would like to change UIButon image when the user press the play / pause button in lockscreen (according to the player state). Thanks to this, if the user unlock the device while the player is paused, the UIButton's image represent the state.
I can do everything I want through these actions but it seems that UI changes are impossible...
Does it is possible or not ?
Thanks in advance !
EDIT : here is the code I use for changing the UIButton's image while in app (that doesn't work while in lockscreen):
[self.playButton setImage:[UIImage imageNamed:@"Pause-100.png"] forState:UIControlStateNormal];
I've found the solution by adding an observer for when the app did become active
[[NSNotificationCenter defaultCenter] addObserver:self
selector:@selector(updateGUI)
name:UIApplicationDidBecomeActiveNotification
object:[UIApplication sharedApplication]];
Then I run this method to update the UIButton's image :
- (void)updateGUI {
if (isPaused) {
[self.playButton setImage:[UIImage imageNamed:@"Play-100.png"] forState:UIControlStateNormal];
}else if (!isPaused) {
[self.playButton setImage:[UIImage imageNamed:@"Pause-100.png"] forState:UIControlStateNormal];
}
}
