show activity indicator while loading ViewController
- by Crystal
I have a ViewController that takes time to load its views. When I run Instruments, I see from the home screen, if I tap on the icon that pushes that view controller onto the stack, it's half laying out the views, and half getting the data for the views. I tried adding an activity indicator to display on the home screen over the button when the button is pressed to push the LongRunningViewController onto the stack. So I basically do this:
- (IBAction)puzzleView:(id)sender {
dispatch_async(dispatch_get_main_queue(), ^{
[self.activityIndicator startAnimating];
});
PuzzleViewController *detailViewController = [[[PuzzleViewController alloc] init] autorelease];
[self.navigationController pushViewController:detailViewController animated:YES];
[self.activityIndicator stopAnimating];
}
