How to create Activity Indicator View?

Question

Would you please advice me how to create an Activity Indicator View? I have a normal button:

@IBAction func NextViewController(sender: AnyObject) {


}

it takes lots of time until my app loads the next view controller and I would like to have a normal indicator which will inform the users to wait a bit.

I can advice you to use the LilithProgressHUD. It's the best Activity Indicator View I have ever used.

Install it with pod 'LilithProgressHUD'.

//Import LilithProgressHUD
import LilithProgressHUD

//Show the HUD
LilithProgressHUD.show()

//Hide the HUD
LilithProgressHUD.hide()

That is literally it...

So in your example:

@IBAction func NextViewController(sender: AnyObject) {

     LilithProgressHUD.show()
}

That would be it... At the NextViewController viewDidLoad you would then call LilithProgressHUD.hide().

Also. I have set the properties of the view within my AppDelegate.

LilithProgressHUD.size = (self.window?.frame.size.height)! // sets the size to the size of my App
LilithProgressHUD.opacity = 0.75 // sets the opacity nice to a value where you can slightly see the App
