I have a so heavy view that takes two seconds or more seconds to load. I would like to show activity indicator while be carrying all things at the viewDidLoad and then hide it. Can someone guide me to do this? Thanks in advance.

I don’t know for sure but I doubt that it’s possible to run viewDidLoad on a background thread. If this is true you have no way to animate an activity indicator when running viewDidLoad.
So If I were you I would figure out what takes viewDidLoad so long, and put this into a method that can run in the background.
Then add a activity indicator view in your viewWillAppear method and remove it when your background task is complete.
Depending on the stuff you do in viewDidLoad this might require a lot of refactoring and adding of delegate methods.
I guess you are downloading something that should be displayed.
