“Please wait” dialog in iOS8

Question

I used to have a \"Please wait\" dialog in my app for long time. It was quite simple thing using UIActivityIndicatorView and adding it to

Answer 1

Swift 2.0:

 override func viewDidAppear(animated: Bool)
 {

  let alertController = UIAlertController(title: nil, message: "Please wait\n\n", preferredStyle: UIAlertControllerStyle.Alert)

  let spinnerIndicator: UIActivityIndicatorView = UIActivityIndicatorView(activityIndicatorStyle: UIActivityIndicatorViewStyle.WhiteLarge)

  spinnerIndicator.center = CGPointMake(135.0, 65.5)
  spinnerIndicator.color = UIColor.blackColor()
  spinnerIndicator.startAnimating()

  alertController.view.addSubview(spinnerIndicator)
  self.presentViewController(alertController, animated: false, completion: nil)

}

After some point, we need to hide the alert.

alertController.dismissViewControllerAnimated(true, completion: nil)
