Handle show/hiding of the iOS network activity indicator

SDNetworkActivityIndicator

Handle showing / hiding of the iOS network activity indicator to allow multiple concurrent threads to show / hide the indicator such that the indicator remains visible until all the requests have completed and requested the indicator to be hidden.

Requirements

• iOS 5.0 or later.
• ARC memory management.

Installation

The easiest way to install it is by copying the following files to your project:

• SDNetworkActivityIndicator.h
• SDNetworkActivityIndicator.m

Usage

• When you start a network activity (will show the network activity indicator):

    [[SDNetworkActivityIndicator sharedActivityIndicator] startActivity];
  

• When you finish a network activity (will hide the network activity indicator only if the number of calls to stopActivity matches the number of calls to startActivity):

    [[SDNetworkActivityIndicator sharedActivityIndicator] stopActivity];
  

• To hide the network activity indicator regardless of whether all activities have finished (without having to call stopActivity for each startActivity called):

    [[SDNetworkActivityIndicator sharedActivityIndicator] stopAllActivity];
