SVProgressHUD is a clean and easy-to-use HUD meant to display the progress of an ongoing task.
I'm not a big fan of CocoaPods, so tend to not keep it updated. If you really want to use SVProgressHUD with CocoaPods, I suggest you use pod 'SVProgressHUD', :head
to pull from the master
branch directly. I'm usually careful about what I push there and is the version I use myself in all my projects.
- Drag the
SVProgressHUD/SVProgressHUD
folder into your project. - Add the QuartzCore framework to your project.
(see sample Xcode project in /Demo
)
SVProgressHUD is created as a singleton (i.e. it doesn't need to be explicitly allocated and instantiated; you directly call [SVProgressHUD method]
).
Use SVProgressHUD wisely! Only use it if you absolutely need to perform a task before taking the user forward. Bad use case examples: pull to refresh, infinite scrolling, sending message.
Using SVProgressHUD in your app will usually look as simple as this (using Grand Central Dispatch):
[SVProgressHUD show];
dispatch_async(dispatch_get_global_queue(DISPATCH_QUEUE_PRIORITY_DEFAULT, 0), ^{
// time-consuming task
dispatch_async(dispatch_get_main_queue(), ^{
[SVProgressHUD dismiss];
});
});
You can show the status of indeterminate tasks using one of the following:
+ (void)show;
+ (void)showWithMaskType:(SVProgressHUDMaskType)maskType;
+ (void)showWithStatus:(NSString*)string;
+ (void)showWithStatus:(NSString*)string maskType:(SVProgressHUDMaskType)maskType;
If you'd like the HUD to reflect the progress of a task, use one of these:
+ (void)showProgress:(CGFloat)progress;
+ (void)showProgress:(CGFloat)progress status:(NSString*)status;
+ (void)showProgress:(CGFloat)progress status:(NSString*)status maskType:(SVProgressHUDMaskType)maskType;
It can be dismissed right away using:
+ (void)dismiss;
If you'd like to stack HUDs, you can balance out every show call using:
+ (void)popActivity;
The HUD will get dismissed once the popActivity
calls will match the number of show calls.
Or show a confirmation glyph before before getting dismissed 1 second later using:
+ (void)showSuccessWithStatus:(NSString*)string;
+ (void)showErrorWithStatus:(NSString *)string;
+ (void)showImage:(UIImage*)image status:(NSString*)string; // use 28x28 pngs
SVProgressHUD can be customized via the following methods:
+ (void)setBackgroundColor:(UIColor*)color; // default is [UIColor whiteColor]
+ (void)setForegroundColor:(UIColor*)color; // default is [UIColor blackColor]
+ (void)setRingThickness:(CGFloat)width; // default is 4 pt
+ (void)setFont:(UIFont*)font; //
