Add observer ActivityIndictor

[Sunny46]

Hi, I have application which sometimes take time to load contents if i am using 3G , I would like to add an observer if internet is slow or results are taking time then show the ActivityIndicator. I have tried to ask this before in different thread but it ended up in something else. If anyone knows please do share.

Thank

Apple's reachability can tell you if you're on 3g but that doesn't necessarily tell if you will get your result back quickly or not.

I suppose you can do something along the lines of - if you don't have data after 0.5 seconds you show the activity indicator. that would just be a performselector afterDelay.

Thanks for response, I have already reachability functionality working in my application and It is working fine but I can not know in this if the internet has gone slow or results taking time to show. I have tabbedBarApplication and when every item shows, it brings data from server and shows on the view, it takes time to load data as well as when switching between tabs, this is where i want to show activity indicator. I don't know how and where i can implement to show indicator? if you know something more in detail please share it. thanks

Something more in detail... I think you will have to find your own solution to your own problem - or provide more detail yourself.

There is no way of knowing before you initiate the download if the download is going to take long. As I said, you can check how you are connected to the internet but that won't tell you if the data will take long to download or not.

Why don't you just always show the activity indicator? problem solved?

btw, switching between tabs should not be impacted by your internet connection speed - if it is then you're doing it wrong. you want to make an asynchronous call.
