Question

I’m near completing my application, but I’m running into an issue. Obviously, my web view needs an activity indicator for the app to be accepted. I have the following already:

- (void)viewDidLoad
{
   [webView loadRequest:[NSURLRequest requestWithURL:[NSURL URLWithString:@""]]]; // I removed the website for privacy's sake

[UIApplication sharedApplication].networkActivityIndicatorVisible = YES;

[super viewDidLoad];
// Do any additional setup after loading the view from its nib.
}

Problem is that it won’t stop spinning when I need it to (i.e. even after the page is loaded, it doesn’t stop)

Any suggestions? Any help is appreciated!

Answer 1

Implement the UIWebViewDelegate in your class file that holds the UIWebView, and insert the following two methods:

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

In the start method, place your:

[UIApplication sharedApplication].networkActivityIndicatorVisible = YES;

… and in the finish, place:

[UIApplication sharedApplication].networkActivityIndicatorVisible = NO;

Hope this helps!
