ActivityIndicator In the Status Bar

[franzwarning]

Here is my code:

-(IBAction)thumbsUpButtonPressed:(id)sender
{
	[myWebView reload];
	
}

- (void)webViewDidStartLoad:myWebView
{
	[UIApplication sharedApplication].networkActivityIndicatorVisible = YES;
}

- (void)webViewDidFinishLoad:myWebView
{
	[UIApplication sharedApplication].networkActivityIndicatorVisible = NO;

}

I am trying to get the activity indicator in the status bar but this doesn't seem to work.

Those are not proper method names.

[franzwarning]

If I do it like this:

-(IBAction)thumbsUpButtonPressed:(id)sender
{
	[myWebView reload];
	[UIApplication sharedApplication].networkActivityIndicatorVisible = YES;
}

the Status Bar Indicator never stops and I don't know where to put the:

	[UIApplication sharedApplication].networkActivityIndicatorVisible = NO;

line of code...

Any recommendations?

[BrianSlick]

The approach was correct. The method names were not.

[franzwarning]

thanks!

[franzwarning]

So would it be like this?

-(IBAction)thumbsUpButtonPressed:(id)sender
{
	[myWebView reload];
	webViewdidStartLoad:(UIWebView *)myWebView;
	[UIApplication sharedApplication].networkActivityIndicatorVisible = YES;
	webViewDidFinishLoad:(UIWebView *)myWebView;
	[UIApplication sharedApplication].networkActivityIndicatorVisible = NO;

}

Sorry for all the posts...I'm new to this stuff.

Oh geez, it's getting worse with each post. Go get yourself a good book on the subject. You need a lot more help than you're going to get on forums.

Dude, Brian is telling you what's wrong He's just being his usual laconic self about it. The method declarations you have above have syntax errors. They should look like this:

- (void)webViewDidFinishLoad:(UIWebView *)webView
- (void)webViewDidStartLoad:(UIWebView *)webView

You are missing the type declaration of the webView parameter in both the above methods. The compiler probably gave you a warning. Fix those two method declarations and your approach should work.

Ughh sorry I hate to keep asking you guys this but I just can't seem to figure out what you mean by "type declaration of the webView parameter". Can you elaborate just a bit more?

Thanks a ton,
George

Go to the documentation. Find the entry for UIWebViewDelegate. Find the appropriate methods. Notice how they differ from what you tried originally.

Copy them from the documentation, paste them into your code.

My post above tells you EXACTLY what you need to know. If you can't figure it out, consider a different line of work.
