How to make waved progress bar in swift? - ios

Question

I am beginner IOS developer and often see in design patterns that people use Heart Beat or Waves as the progression bar (i.e. song progress). Sometimes these progress bars go around theAlbum Art etc.
How can i achieve such thing? I am aware of UISlider combined with AVAudioPlayer but couldn't find anything to achieve such as following for song slider.

You could make a custom View, and draw the vertical lines manually. The main procedure for reference:
import UIKit
class WavedProgressView: UIView {
var lineMargin:CGFloat = 2.0
var volumes:[CGFloat] = [0.5,0.3,0.2,0.6,0.4,0.5,0.8,0.6,0.4]
override init(frame: CGRect) {
super.init(frame: frame)
self.backgroundColor = UIColor.darkGray
}
required init?(coder aDecoder: NSCoder) {
super.init(coder: aDecoder)
self.backgroundColor = UIColor.darkGray
}
override var frame: CGRect {
didSet{
self.drawVerticalLines()
}
}
var lineWidth:CGFloat = 3.0{
didSet{
self.drawVerticalLines()
}
}
func drawVerticalLines() {
let linePath = CGMutablePath()
for i in 0..<self.volumes.count {
let height = self.frame.height * volumes[i]
let y = (self.frame.height - height) / 2.0
linePath.addRect(CGRect(x: lineMargin + (lineMargin + lineWidth) * CGFloat(i), y: y, width: lineWidth, height: height))
}
let lineLayer = CAShapeLayer()
lineLayer.path = linePath
lineLayer.lineWidth = 0.5
lineLayer.strokeColor = UIColor.white.cgColor
lineLayer.fillColor = UIColor.white.cgColor
self.layer.sublayers?.removeAll()
self.layer.addSublayer(lineLayer)
}
}
The effect is:
And please make it more perfect by yourself, like: handling event, applying default and highlighted color etc.
