Question

I am new to iPhone developer,

I am loading pages in my webview, loading takes too much time so i wan to show ActivityIndicator till the page loads,

Here is my code snippet but it is not working,

activityIndicator = [[UIActivityIndicatorView alloc]initWithActivityIndicatorStyle:UIActivityIndicatorViewStyleGray];
    activityIndicator.frame = CGRectMake(200.0, 200.0, 100.0, 40.0);
    activityIndicator.center = self.view.center;
    [self.view addSubview: activityIndicator];

    _webview=[[UIWebView alloc]init];
    [_webview setBackgroundColor:[UIColor grayColor]];
    [_webview setDelegate:(id<UIWebViewDelegate>)self];
    [self.view addSubview:_webview];

    [_webview bringSubviewToFront:activityIndicator];

…

 - (void)webViewDidStartLoad:(UIWebView *)webView {

     [UIApplication sharedApplication].networkActivityIndicatorVisible = YES;

     [activityIndicator startAnimating];
     activityIndicator.hidden=FALSE;
 }

- (void)webViewDidFinishLoad:(UIWebView *)webView {

    [UIApplication sharedApplication].networkActivityIndicatorVisible = NO;

    [activityIndicator stopAnimating];
    activityIndicator.hidden=TRUE;
}

but i am unable to see my activityIndicator

Any help will be appreciated.

You are adding the UIActivityIndicatorView directly to the self.view and later you are trying to bringSubviewToFront from the UIWebView. Check with:

[self.view bringSubviewToFront:activityIndicator];
