Question

I need a black temporary transparent box that must show something like “Loading….” with a spinner it. We can see such a view in twitter when “Tweeting” an update – it says “Sending tweet…” kinda thing.

Is this an inbuilt behavior in UIKit. How do I get this box to show up on screen for a few seconds and disappear.

please help.

You need to use DSActivityView. All this is handled there. Instead of doing your own thing I suggest you use this.

For what you need this is how you need to go –

#import "DSActivityView.h"

[DSActivityView activityViewForView:self.view withLabel:@"Tweeting"]; //to show spinner with label

[DSActivityView removeView]; //once its done
