I am new to iphone development. I want to set an activity indicator in the navigation bar. I see my activity indicator below the navigation bar. My code is here

- (IBAction) gomethod : (id) sender {
    xxMapSubviewcontroller = [[XxMapSubviewcontroller alloc] init];
    [self.navigationController pushViewController:xxMapSubviewcontroller animated:YES];

    activityIndicator = [[UIActivityIndicatorView alloc] initWithActivityIndicatorStyle:UIActivityIndicatorViewStyleGray];
    activityIndicator.frame = CGRectMake(0.0, 0.0, 20.0, 20.0);
    [activityIndicator startAnimating];

    [xxMapSubviewcontroller.view addSubview:activityIndicator];
}

How can i set my activity indicator in the navigation bar? Please help me out. Thanks.

I add the below piece of code in the view where i wanted the activity indicator in the navigation bar.

activityIndicator = [[UIActivityIndicatorView alloc] initWithActivityIndicatorStyle:UIActivityIndicatorViewStyleGray];
UIBarButtonItem * barButton = [[UIBarButtonItem alloc] initWithCustomView:activityIndicator];
[self navigationItem].rightBarButtonItem = barButton;
[activityIndicator startAnimating];

You are creating a new activity indicator view here, which is fine, but you are not referring to the activity indicator in the status bar.

To show the activity indicator in the status bar, simply call this:

[[UIApplication sharedApplication] setNetworkActivityIndicatorVisible:YES];

Swift

  1. Connect UIBarButtonItem from storyboard to yourViewController
  2. remove week from its definition like: @IBOutlet var btNavigaitonRight: UIBarButtonItem!

  3. Use these methods for start and stopping activity indicator:

    var activityIndicator = UIActivityIndicatorView()

func startBarButtonIndicator() {
    activityIndicator = UIActivityIndicatorView(frame: CGRect(x: 0, y: 0, width: 20, height: 20))
    activityIndicator?.color = .gray
    let barButton = UIBarButtonItem(customView: activityIndicator!)
    self.navigationItem.setRightBarButton(barButton, animated: true)
    activityIndicator?.startAnimating()
}

func stopBarButtonIndicator() {
    activityIndicator?.stopAnimating()
    navigationItem.setRightBarButton(btNavigaitonRight, animated: true)
}

Like WhatsApp:

//Declare

let activityIndicator = UIActivityIndicatorView(activityIndicatorStyle: .gray)

//ViewDidLoad

self.activityIndicator.hidesWhenStopped = true

func showIndicator() {
    self.navigationItem.titleView = self.activityIndicator
    self.activityIndicator.isHidden = false
}

func hideIndicator() {
    self.navigationItem.titleView = nil
}
