here by i initialse the indicator and start and stop the spinner but its not woking for me...
any one help me to solve the issues how to add the activity indicator when navigation the another view
Thanks in Advance

Answer 1

[self.view addSubview:spinner];
At this line you add the activity indicator to the current ViewController view.
However once you navigate to other view
DashboardVC *initView = (DashboardVC*)[storyboard instantiateViewControllerWithIdentifier:#"Dashboardvc"];
[self presentViewController:initView animated:NO completion:nil];
the current view changes to the new ViewController's view.
The activity indicator isnt present in that view and therefore you wont see your activity indicator there.
To solve, you should again add activity indicator in the second ViewController's viewDidLoad method
In Dashboard VC
- (void)viewDidLoad {
[super viewDidLoad];
UIActivityIndicatorView *spinner = [[UIActivityIndicatorView alloc] initWithFrame:CGRectMake(150, 225, 20, 30)];
[spinner setActivityIndicatorViewStyle:UIActivityIndicatorViewStyleGray];
spinner.color = [UIColor blackColor];
[self.view addSubview:spinner];
}
A better solution would be to use third party progress huds which make
the loading indicator part absolutely easy like MBProgressHUD

Answer 2

You should add activityindicator on navigation controller so, it is remains on front when you navigate.
you should use MBProgressHud the great third party library.
Just put class in your project and import .h file in your class when you want to show activity indicator and then add HUD (activity indicator) like,
[MBProgressHUD showHUDAddedTo:self.view animated:YES];
// in your case show hud on `self.navigationController.view`
// use main thread to show if required
and hide like,
dispatch_async(dispatch_get_global_queue( DISPATCH_QUEUE_PRIORITY_LOW, 0), ^{
// Do something...
dispatch_async(dispatch_get_main_queue(), ^{
[MBProgressHUD hideHUDForView:self.view animated:YES];
});
});
Hope this will help :)

Answer 3

When you stop UIActivityIndicatorView then also hide it.
[spinner setHidesWhenStopped:YES];
EDIT:
If you are not sure about NSThread then just do like this.
if ([test isEqual:helloString]) {
//[NSThread detachNewThreadSelector:#selector(threadStartAnimating:) toTarget:self withObject:nil];
[spinner startAnimating];
[self moveToView];
}
And when you want to stop it ten
[spinner stopAnimating];
[spinner setHidesWhenStopped:YES];

Answer 4

instead of using indicator , use svprogresshud.Check this link https://github.com/SVProgressHUD/SVProgressHUD.
if you want animated progressbar check this link https://github.com/cemolcay/GiFHUD
