Constructor Details
This class inherits a constructor from NSObject
Dynamic Method Handling
This class handles dynamic methods through the method_missing method in the class NSObject
Instance Attribute Details
- (UIActivityIndicatorViewStyle) activityIndicatorViewStyle
The basic appearance of the activity indicator. See UIActivityIndicatorStyle for the available styles. The default value is UIActivityIndicatorViewStyleWhite.
- (UIColor) color
The color of the activity indicator. If you set a color for an activity indicator, it overrides the color provided by the activityIndicatorViewStyle property.
- (Boolean) hidesWhenStopped
A Boolean value that controls whether the receiver is hidden when the animation is stopped. If the value of this property is YES (the default), the receiver sets its hidden property (UIView) to YES when receiver is not animating. If the hidesWhenStopped property is NO, the receiver is not hidden when animation stops. You stop an animating progress indicator with the stopAnimating method.
Instance Method Details
- (Object) initWithActivityIndicatorStyle(style)
Initializes and returns an activity-indicator object. UIActivityIndicatorView sizes the returned instance according to the specified style. You can set and retrieve the style of a activity indicator through the activityIndicatorViewStyle property.
- (Boolean) isAnimating
Returns whether the receiver is animating.
- (Object) startAnimating
Starts the animation of the progress indicator. When the progress indicator is animated, the gear spins to indicate indeterminate progress. The indicator is animated until stopAnimating is called.
- (Object) stopAnimating
Stops the animation of the progress indicator. Call this method to stop the animation of the progress indicator started with a call to startAnimating. When animating is stopped, the indicator is hidden, unless hidesWhenStopped is NO.
