Question

I have created UITableview and I added an activity indicator as subview on UITableview. What I want is for that activity indicator to animate for a moment before table loads. After the table loads, the activty indicator should disappear.
I am using these methods:

[spinner startAnimating];
[spinner stopAnimating];

The problem is the activity indicator is not animated before the table loads on an iPhone. But if I remove this method:

[spinner stopAnimating];

then the activity indicator remains animated after the table has been loaded.

Tell me what I do to animated activity for a moment before then table load on Iphone

Answer 1

Start your activity Indicator in viewWillAppear

[activityIndicator startAnimating];

Then stop it in viewDidAppear like this

[activityIndicator performSelector:@selector(stopAnimating) withObject:nil afterDelay:1];

Hope that Helps!
