Stop Activity Indicator in Status Bar?

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!

Answer 2

In the web views delegate you can do:

- (void)webViewDidFinishLoad:(UIWebView *)webView {
    [UIApplication sharedApplication].networkActivityIndicatorVisible = NO;
}

Answer 3

you need to call

[UIApplication sharedApplication].networkActivityIndicatorVisible = NO;

to get it to stop
