Start activity indicator view in iOS and Swift [duplicate] - ios

Question

I wanna show, programmatically, an activity indicator with text, like the one in the Photos app (after editing and saving a picture). How can I do this?

Answer 2

While Esq's answer works, I've added my own implementation which is more in line with good component architecture by separating the view into it's own class. It also uses dynamic blurring introduced in iOS 8.
Here is how mine looks with an image background:
The code for this is encapsulated in it's own UIView class which means you can reuse it whenever you desire.
Updated for Swift 3
Usage
func viewDidLoad() {
super.viewDidLoad()
// Create and add the view to the screen.
let progressHUD = ProgressHUD(text: "Saving Photo")
self.view.addSubview(progressHUD)
// All done!
self.view.backgroundColor = UIColor.black
}
UIView Code
import UIKit
class ProgressHUD: UIVisualEffectView {
var text: String? {
didSet {
label.text = text
}
}
let activityIndictor: UIActivityIndicatorView = UIActivityIndicatorView(activityIndicatorStyle: UIActivityIndicatorViewStyle.gray)
let label: UILabel = UILabel()
let blurEffect = UIBlurEffect(style: .light)
let vibrancyView: UIVisualEffectView
init(text: String) {
self.text = text
self.vibrancyView = UIVisualEffectView(effect: UIVibrancyEffect(blurEffect: blurEffect))
super.init(effect: blurEffect)
self.setup()
}
required init?(coder aDecoder: NSCoder) {
self.text = ""
self.vibrancyView = UIVisualEffectView(effect: UIVibrancyEffect(blurEffect: blurEffect))
super.init(coder: aDecoder)
self.setup()
}
func setup() {
contentView.addSubview(vibrancyView)
contentView.addSubview(activityIndictor)
contentView.addSubview(label)
activityIndictor.startAnimating()
}
override func didMoveToSuperview() {
super.didMoveToSuperview()
if let superview = self.superview {
let width = superview.frame.size.width / 2.3
let height: CGFloat = 50.0
self.frame = CGRect(x: superview.frame.size.width / 2 - width / 2,
y: superview.frame.height / 2 - height / 2,
width: width,
height: height)
vibrancyView.frame = self.bounds
let activityIndicatorSize: CGFloat = 40
activityIndictor.frame = CGRect(x: 5,
y: height / 2 - activityIndicatorSize / 2,
width: activityIndicatorSize,
height: activityIndicatorSize)
layer.cornerRadius = 8.0
layer.masksToBounds = true
label.text = text
label.textAlignment = NSTextAlignment.center
label.frame = CGRect(x: activityIndicatorSize + 5,
y: 0,
width: width - activityIndicatorSize - 15,
height: height)
label.textColor = UIColor.gray
label.font = UIFont.boldSystemFont(ofSize: 16)
}
}
func show() {
self.isHidden = false
}
func hide() {
self.isHidden = true
}
}
Swift 2
An example on how to use it is like this:
override func viewDidLoad() {
super.viewDidLoad()
// Create and add the view to the screen.
let progressHUD = ProgressHUD(text: "Saving Photo")
self.view.addSubview(progressHUD)
// All done!
self.view.backgroundColor = UIColor.blackColor()
}
Here is the UIView code:
import UIKit
class ProgressHUD: UIVisualEffectView {
var text: String? {
didSet {
label.text = text
}
}
let activityIndictor: UIActivityIndicatorView = UIActivityIndicatorView(activityIndicatorStyle: UIActivityIndicatorViewStyle.White)
let label: UILabel = UILabel()
let blurEffect = UIBlurEffect(style: .Light)
let vibrancyView: UIVisualEffectView
init(text: String) {
self.text = text
self.vibrancyView = UIVisualEffectView(effect: UIVibrancyEffect(forBlurEffect: blurEffect))
super.init(effect: blurEffect)
self.setup()
}
required init(coder aDecoder: NSCoder) {
self.text = ""
self.vibrancyView = UIVisualEffectView(effect: UIVibrancyEffect(forBlurEffect: blurEffect))
super.init(coder: aDecoder)
self.setup()
}
func setup() {
contentView.addSubview(vibrancyView)
vibrancyView.contentView.addSubview(activityIndictor)
vibrancyView.contentView.addSubview(label)
activityIndictor.startAnimating()
}
override func didMoveToSuperview() {
super.didMoveToSuperview()
if let superview = self.superview {
let width = superview.frame.size.width / 2.3
let height: CGFloat = 50.0
self.frame = CGRectMake(superview.frame.size.width / 2 - width / 2,
superview.frame.height / 2 - height / 2,
width,
height)
vibrancyView.frame = self.bounds
let activityIndicatorSize: CGFloat = 40
activityIndictor.frame = CGRectMake(5, height / 2 - activityIndicatorSize / 2,
activityIndicatorSize,
activityIndicatorSize)
layer.cornerRadius = 8.0
layer.masksToBounds = true
label.text = text
label.textAlignment = NSTextAlignment.Center
label.frame = CGRectMake(activityIndicatorSize + 5, 0, width - activityIndicatorSize - 15, height)
label.textColor = UIColor.grayColor()
label.font = UIFont.boldSystemFontOfSize(16)
}
}
func show() {
self.hidden = false
}
func hide() {
self.hidden = true
}
}

Heres how this code looks:
Heres my drag and drop code:
var boxView = UIView()
override func viewDidLoad() {
super.viewDidLoad()
// Do any additional setup after loading the view, typically from a nib.
view.backgroundColor = UIColor.blackColor()
addSavingPhotoView()
//Custom button to test this app
var button = UIButton(frame: CGRect(x: 20, y: 20, width: 20, height: 20))
button.backgroundColor = UIColor.redColor()
button.addTarget(self, action: "buttonAction:", forControlEvents: UIControlEvents.TouchUpInside)
view.addSubview(button)
}
func addSavingPhotoView() {
// You only need to adjust this frame to move it anywhere you want
boxView = UIView(frame: CGRect(x: view.frame.midX - 90, y: view.frame.midY - 25, width: 180, height: 50))
boxView.backgroundColor = UIColor.whiteColor()
boxView.alpha = 0.8
boxView.layer.cornerRadius = 10
//Here the spinnier is initialized
var activityView = UIActivityIndicatorView(activityIndicatorStyle: UIActivityIndicatorViewStyle.Gray)
activityView.frame = CGRect(x: 0, y: 0, width: 50, height: 50)
activityView.startAnimating()
var textLabel = UILabel(frame: CGRect(x: 60, y: 0, width: 200, height: 50))
textLabel.textColor = UIColor.grayColor()
textLabel.text = "Saving Photo"
boxView.addSubview(activityView)
boxView.addSubview(textLabel)
view.addSubview(boxView)
}
func buttonAction(sender:UIButton!) {
//When button is pressed it removes the boxView from screen
boxView.removeFromSuperview()
}

Answer 4

Based o my previous answer, here is a more elegant solution with a custom class:
First define this custom class:
import UIKit
import Foundation
class ActivityIndicatorView
{
var view: UIView!
var activityIndicator: UIActivityIndicatorView!
var title: String!
init(title: String, center: CGPoint, width: CGFloat = 200.0, height: CGFloat = 50.0)
{
self.title = title
let x = center.x - width/2.0
let y = center.y - height/2.0
self.view = UIView(frame: CGRect(x: x, y: y, width: width, height: height))
self.view.backgroundColor = UIColor(red: 255.0/255.0, green: 204.0/255.0, blue: 51.0/255.0, alpha: 0.5)
self.view.layer.cornerRadius = 10
self.activityIndicator = UIActivityIndicatorView(frame: CGRect(x: 0, y: 0, width: 50, height: 50))
self.activityIndicator.color = UIColor.blackColor()
self.activityIndicator.hidesWhenStopped = false
let titleLabel = UILabel(frame: CGRect(x: 60, y: 0, width: 200, height: 50))
titleLabel.text = title
titleLabel.textColor = UIColor.blackColor()
self.view.addSubview(self.activityIndicator)
self.view.addSubview(titleLabel)
}
func getViewActivityIndicator() -> UIView
{
return self.view
}
func startAnimating()
{
self.activityIndicator.startAnimating()
UIApplication.sharedApplication().beginIgnoringInteractionEvents()
}
func stopAnimating()
{
self.activityIndicator.stopAnimating()
UIApplication.sharedApplication().endIgnoringInteractionEvents()
self.view.removeFromSuperview()
}
//end
}
Now on your UIViewController class:
var activityIndicatorView: ActivityIndicatorView!
override func viewDidLoad()
{
super.viewDidLoad()
self.activityIndicatorView = ActivityIndicatorView(title: "Processing...", center: self.view.center)
self.view.addSubview(self.activityIndicatorView.getViewActivityIndicator())
}
func doSomething()
{
self.activityIndicatorView.startAnimating()
UIApplication.sharedApplication().beginIgnoringInteractionEvents()
//do something here that will taking time
self.activityIndicatorView.stopAnimating()
}

Answer 5

For activity indicator, its better you create one custom class.
Instead of creating UIActivityIndicator in each UIViewController.Subclass UIView and use from any UIViewController.
Updated for Swift 5.0:
import UIKit
import Foundation
class ProgressIndicator: UIView {
var indicatorColor:UIColor
var loadingViewColor:UIColor
var loadingMessage:String
var messageFrame = UIView()
var activityIndicator = UIActivityIndicatorView()
init(inview:UIView,loadingViewColor:UIColor,indicatorColor:UIColor,msg:String){
self.indicatorColor = indicatorColor
self.loadingViewColor = loadingViewColor
self.loadingMessage = msg
super.init(frame: CGRect(x: inview.frame.midX - 90, y: inview.frame.midY - 250 , width: 180, height: 50))
initalizeCustomIndicator()
}
convenience init(inview:UIView) {
self.init(inview: inview,loadingViewColor: UIColor.brown,indicatorColor:UIColor.black, msg: "Loading..")
}
convenience init(inview:UIView,messsage:String) {
self.init(inview: inview,loadingViewColor: UIColor.brown,indicatorColor:UIColor.black, msg: messsage)
}
required init?(coder aDecoder: NSCoder) {
fatalError("init(coder:) has not been implemented")
}
func initalizeCustomIndicator(){
messageFrame.frame = self.bounds
activityIndicator = UIActivityIndicatorView(style: UIActivityIndicatorView.Style.medium)
activityIndicator.tintColor = indicatorColor
activityIndicator.hidesWhenStopped = true
activityIndicator.frame = CGRect(x: self.bounds.origin.x + 6, y: 0, width: 20, height: 50)
print(activityIndicator.frame)
let strLabel = UILabel(frame:CGRect(x: self.bounds.origin.x + 30, y: 0, width: self.bounds.width - (self.bounds.origin.x + 30) , height: 50))
strLabel.text = loadingMessage
strLabel.adjustsFontSizeToFitWidth = true
strLabel.textColor = UIColor.white
messageFrame.layer.cornerRadius = 15
messageFrame.backgroundColor = loadingViewColor
messageFrame.alpha = 0.8
messageFrame.addSubview(activityIndicator)
messageFrame.addSubview(strLabel)
}
func start(){
//check if view is already there or not..if again started
if !self.subviews.contains(messageFrame){
activityIndicator.startAnimating()
self.addSubview(messageFrame)
}
}
func stop(){
if self.subviews.contains(messageFrame){
activityIndicator.stopAnimating()
messageFrame.removeFromSuperview()
}
}
}
Put this class in your project and then call from any ViewController as
var indicator:ProgressIndicator?
override func viewDidLoad() {
super.viewDidLoad()
//indicator = ProgressIndicator(inview: self.view,messsage: "Hello from Nepal..")
//self.view.addSubview(indicator!)
//OR
indicator = ProgressIndicator(inview:self.view,loadingViewColor: UIColor.grayColor(), indicatorColor: UIColor.blackColor(), msg: "Landing within minutes,Please hold tight..")
self.view.addSubview(indicator!)
}
#IBAction func startBtn(sender: AnyObject) {
indicator!.start()
}
#IBAction func stopBtn(sender: AnyObject) {
indicator!.stop()
}

For Swift 3
Usage
class LoginTVC: UITableViewController {
var loadingView : LoadingView!
override func viewDidLoad() {
super.viewDidLoad()
// CASE 1: To Show loadingView on load
loadingView = LoadingView(uiView: view, message: "Sending you verification code")
}
// CASE 2: To show loadingView on click of a button
#IBAction func showLoadingView(_ sender: UIButton) {
if let loaderView = loadingView{ // If loadingView already exists
if loaderView.isHidden() {
loaderView.show() // To show activity indicator
}
}
else{
loadingView = LoadingView(uiView: view, message: "Sending you verification code")
}
}
}
// CASE 3: To hide LoadingView on click of a button
#IBAction func hideLoadingView(_ sender: UIButton) {
if let loaderView = loadingView{ // If loadingView already exists
self.loadingView.hide()
}
}
}
LoadingView Class
class LoadingView {
let uiView : UIView
let message : String
let messageLabel = UILabel()
let loadingSV = UIStackView()
let loadingView = UIView()
let activityIndicator: UIActivityIndicatorView = UIActivityIndicatorView(activityIndicatorStyle: UIActivityIndicatorViewStyle.gray)
init(uiView: UIView, message: String) {
self.uiView = uiView
self.message = message
self.setup()
}
func setup(){
let viewWidth = uiView.bounds.width
let viewHeight = uiView.bounds.height
// Configuring the message label
messageLabel.text = message
messageLabel.textColor = UIColor.darkGray
messageLabel.textAlignment = .center
messageLabel.numberOfLines = 3
messageLabel.lineBreakMode = .byWordWrapping
// Creating stackView to center and align Label and Activity Indicator
loadingSV.axis = .vertical
loadingSV.distribution = .equalSpacing
loadingSV.alignment = .center
loadingSV.addArrangedSubview(activityIndicator)
loadingSV.addArrangedSubview(messageLabel)
// Creating loadingView, this acts as a background for label and activityIndicator
loadingView.frame = uiView.frame
loadingView.center = uiView.center
loadingView.backgroundColor = UIColor.darkGray.withAlphaComponent(0.3)
loadingView.clipsToBounds = true
// Disabling auto constraints
loadingSV.translatesAutoresizingMaskIntoConstraints = false
// Adding subviews
loadingView.addSubview(loadingSV)
uiView.addSubview(loadingView)
activityIndicator.startAnimating()
// Views dictionary
let views = [
"loadingSV": loadingSV
]
// Constraints for loadingSV
uiView.addConstraints(NSLayoutConstraint.constraints(withVisualFormat: "H:|-[loadingSV(300)]-|", options: [], metrics: nil, views: views))
uiView.addConstraints(NSLayoutConstraint.constraints(withVisualFormat: "V:|-\(viewHeight / 3)-[loadingSV(50)]-|", options: [], metrics: nil, views: views))
}
// Call this method to hide loadingView
func show() {
loadingView.isHidden = false
}
// Call this method to show loadingView
func hide(){
loadingView.isHidden = true
}
// Call this method to check if loading view already exists
func isHidden() -> Bool{
if loadingView.isHidden == false{
return false
}
else{
return true
}
}
}

Answer 7

You can create your own. For example:
Create a view with white background and rounded corners:
var view = UIView(frame: CGRect(x: 0, y: 0, width: 300, height: 50))
view.backgroundColor = UIColor.whiteColor()
view.layer.cornerRadius = 10
Add two subviews, a UIActivityIndicatorView and a UILabel:
var wait = UIActivityIndicatorView(frame: CGRect(x: 0, y: 0, width: 50, height: 50))
wait.color = UIColor.blackColor()
wait.hidesWhenStopped = false
var text = UILabel(frame: CGRect(x: 60, y: 0, width: 200, height: 50))
text.text = "Processing..."
view.addSubview(wait)
view.addSubview(text)

Answer 8

Based on "MirekE" answer here is a code that i tested now and its working:
var activityIndicator: UIActivityIndicatorView!
var viewActivityIndicator: UIView!
override func viewDidLoad()
{
super.viewDidLoad()
let width: CGFloat = 200.0
let height: CGFloat = 50.0
let x = self.view.frame.width/2.0 - width/2.0
let y = self.view.frame.height/2.0 - height/2.0
self.viewActivityIndicator = UIView(frame: CGRect(x: x, y: y, width: width, height: height))
self.viewActivityIndicator.backgroundColor = UIColor(red: 255.0/255.0, green: 204.0/255.0, blue: 51.0/255.0, alpha: 0.5)
self.viewActivityIndicator.layer.cornerRadius = 10
self.activityIndicator = UIActivityIndicatorView(frame: CGRect(x: 0, y: 0, width: 50, height: 50))
self.activityIndicator.color = UIColor.blackColor()
self.activityIndicator.hidesWhenStopped = false
let titleLabel = UILabel(frame: CGRect(x: 60, y: 0, width: 200, height: 50))
titleLabel.text = "Processing..."
self.viewActivityIndicator.addSubview(self.activityIndicator)
self.viewActivityIndicator.addSubview(titleLabel)
self.view.addSubview(self.viewActivityIndicator)
}
func doSometing()
{
self.activityIndicator.startAnimating()
UIApplication.sharedApplication().beginIgnoringInteractionEvents()
//do something here that will taking time
self.activityIndicator.stopAnimating()
UIApplication.sharedApplication().endIgnoringInteractionEvents()
self.viewActivityIndicator.removeFromSuperview()
}

simple activity controller class !!!
class ActivityIndicator: UIVisualEffectView {
let activityIndictor: UIActivityIndicatorView = UIActivityIndicatorView(activityIndicatorStyle: UIActivityIndicatorViewStyle.WhiteLarge)
let label: UILabel = UILabel()
let blurEffect = UIBlurEffect(style: .Dark)
let vibrancyView: UIVisualEffectView
init() {
self.vibrancyView = UIVisualEffectView(effect: UIVibrancyEffect(forBlurEffect: blurEffect))
super.init(effect: blurEffect)
self.setup()
}
required init?(coder aDecoder: NSCoder) {
self.vibrancyView = UIVisualEffectView(effect: UIVibrancyEffect(forBlurEffect: blurEffect))
super.init(coder: aDecoder)
self.setup()
}
func setup() {
contentView.addSubview(vibrancyView)
vibrancyView.contentView.addSubview(activityIndictor)
activityIndictor.startAnimating()
}
override func didMoveToSuperview() {
super.didMoveToSuperview()
if let superview = self.superview {
let width: CGFloat = 75.0
let height: CGFloat = 75.0

With auto width and theme support also detects rotate while busy (Swift 3 version)
Use it like below:
var progressView: ProgressView?
override func viewDidAppear(_ animated: Bool) {
super.viewDidAppear(animated)
self.progressView = ProgressView(message: "Work in progress!",
theme: .dark,
isModal: true)

self.container = UIStackView()
self.activityIndicator = UIActivityIndicatorView()
self.label = UILabel()

// Get proper width by text message
let fontName = self.label.font.fontName
let fontSize = self.label.font.pointSize

let fontAttributes = [NSFontAttributeName: font]
let size = (message as NSString).size(attributes: fontAttributes)
super.init(frame: CGRect(x: 0, y: 0, width: size.width + 50, height: 50))
} else {
super.init(frame: CGRect(x: 0, y: 0, width: 200, height: 50))
}
// Detect rotation
NotificationCenter.default.addObserver(self, selector: #selector(onRotate), name: NSNotification.Name.UIDeviceOrientationDidChange, object: nil)

This code work in SWIFT 2.0.
Must Declare a variable for initialize UIActivityIndicatorView
let actInd: UIActivityIndicatorView = UIActivityIndicatorView()
After initialize put this code in your controller.
actInd.center = ImageView.center
actInd.activityIndicatorViewStyle = UIActivityIndicatorViewStyle.WhiteLarge
view.addSubview(actInd)
actInd.startAnimating()
after your download process complete then hide a animation.
self.actInd.stopAnimating()

In Swift 3
Declare variables which we will use
var activityIndicator = UIActivityIndicatorView()
let loadingView = UIView()
let loadingLabel = UILabel()
Set label , view and activityIndicator
func setLoadingScreen(myMsg : String) {
let width: CGFloat = 120
let height: CGFloat = 30
let x = (self.view.frame.width / 2) - (width / 2)
let y = (169 / 2) - (height / 2) + 60
loadingView.frame = CGRect(x: x, y: y, width: width, height: height)
self.loadingLabel.textColor = UIColor.white
self.loadingLabel.textAlignment = NSTextAlignment.center
self.loadingLabel.text = myMsg
self.loadingLabel.frame = CGRect(x: 0, y: 0, width: 160, height: 30)
self.loadingLabel.isHidden = false
self.activityIndicator.activityIndicatorViewStyle = UIActivityIndicatorViewStyle.white
self.activityIndicator.frame = CGRect(x: 0, y: 0, width: 30, height: 30)
self.activityIndicator.startAnimating()
loadingView.addSubview(self.spinner)
loadingView.addSubview(self.loadingLabel)
self.view.addSubview(loadingView)
}
Start Animation
#IBAction func start_animation(_ sender: Any) {
setLoadingScreen(myMsg: "Loading...")
}
Stop Animation
#IBAction func stop_animation(_ sender: Any) {
self.spinner.stopAnimating()
UIApplication.shared.endIgnoringInteractionEvents()
self.loadingLabel.isHidden = true
}
