AirPlay button on custom view

Question

4.3 finally :) I am searching right now how to add air play button to custom view. I have MPMoviePlayer that load movie. I disabled standard controls and added overlay view with my custom play, pause, stop, volume buttons. If anybody know how to add button that will be air play please share knowledge? I cant't find what notification to send, what to listen...:(

Answer 1

If you want just the AirPlay button without the volume slider follow the instructions in Jilouc's answer and then set the following properties on the myVolumeView:

[myVolumeView setShowsVolumeSlider:NO];
[myVolumeView setShowsRouteButton:YES];

That will hide the volume slider but keep the route button.

Answer 2

EDIT It seems I've been misguided in my previous answer because the device was not running the released version iOS 4.3.

There is a way to provide the AirPlay button on a custom interface.
Use a MPVolumeView and add it to your view hierarchy

MPVolumeView *myVolumeView =
[[MPVolumeView alloc] initWithFrame: overlayView.bounds];
[overlayView addSubview: myVolumeView];
[myVolumeView release];

The MPVolumeView provides the volume slider and the route button (see image below). But I don't think it's possible to only display the button.
