Retrieve heart rate with microsoft band

Question

I am currently developing an app in swift and i want to use the microsoft band with it. The only thing i want to do is include the SDK example of BandHeartRate that is included. The problem is that the SDK is in Objective-C and i don't know if i could use this code in my app.

I have tried the following:

1) Include the CoreBluetooth and Microsoft Band Framework in Linked Frameworks and Libraries 2) Create a bridging header that has: #import < MicrosoftBandKit_iOS/MicrosoftBandKit_iOS.h >
3) Include the example code in my app (the .h and .m)

It seems that it can't access the framework so i don't know what to do in order to make it work. I just need the example code in objective-C to be included in my app (that is in swift)

Thanks

Answer 1

I have created a Swift 2.1 (Xcode 7.2.1) Band Heart Rate sample based on the Microsoft Band Kit for iOS release from Dec. 22, 2015. Have a look at: https://github.com/mthistle/MicrosoftBandKit_iOS-Swift2.2/tree/master/BandSensor/BSwiftHeartRate

The sample follows the Microsoft released sample and I have included everything in a single repo so you can pull the entire Obj-C and Swift samples. At the moment I only have the Heart Rate sample converted but the other's should follow easily from that.

Good luck.

Answer 2

you absolutely can incorporate the sdk in your app. Add a bridging header (I'm on mobile) and the classes and methods will automatically be cast into swift types ( including autocomplete)
