Answer 1

Please use this code and as for the slider value set maximum and minimum value as given in the code below UISlider Brightness
Whereas the below code would work too.
- (void)viewDidLoad
{
UISlider *slider = [[UISlider alloc] initWithFrame:CGRectMake(0,0,300,40)];
[slider addTarget:self action:#selector(sliderHandler:) forControlEvents:UIControlEventValueChanged];
slider.minimumValue = 0.f;
slider.maximumValue = 1.0f;
slider.value = [[UIScreen mainScreen] brightness];
[[self view]addSubview:slider];
[super viewDidLoad];
}
- (void)sliderHandler:(UISlider *)sender
{
//NSLog(#"value:%f", sender.value);
[[UIScreen mainScreen] setBrightness:sender.value];
}
EDIT :
You could try this way too. Add a UIVIew of clear color to the view and increase the alpha component of this view upon the slider value changed event. By doing this , the view gets darkened and we get a feeling that the brightness of the app is reduced. This solution may not be very appropriate, but works just fine.
