Question

I’m a fresh IOS dev beginner, I don’t know the whole terminology yet (between sheet, modal, dialog, view, …)

Context

I have a button that launchs a serie of actions that will take a certain time (maybe 2 or 3 seconds)

I would like to show a pretty dialog with a progess bar (certainly UIProgressView) and a text showing each steps one by one.

The user should not be able to do anything while processing, and the dialog should close itself when done.

Question

Which approach should I use ?

I’m not asking for any code but simply which techniques, widgets should I use.
So I’ll be able to google search with right terms 🙂

Answer 1

Custom UIActivityIndicator is the thing you would like to use.

Why not using the already made control for that: https://github.com/samvermette/SVProgressHUD

Hope this will lessen your work.
