Custom color my UIActivityIndicatorView

Question

I would like to have my UIActivityIndicatorView be colored a custom color. Is there any way to set this property?

In iOS 5.0 and up you can use setColor: on the UIActivityIndicatorView to set a custom color.

In Swift you can just use activityIndicatorView.color = UIColor.red

You need to create a custom set of images (better), then animate it using a UIImageView.

Or place a colored transparent view on top of the activity indicator to "tint" it (lower quality).

Hi kenny...its good idea but have you any sample code to rotational animation of UIImageView ?

@yakub: No. You create 10 images and use animationImages. At least that how the indicator views work.

For Xcode 7 (possibly earlier) you can also specify the color directly in Interface Builder.
