How to display an activity indicator with text on iOS 8 with Swift?

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 1

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)
