You’re absolutely right! And I need to declare the variables also. I’ve corrected the code.

I think you’d also need to release the activityView/progressView after adding them as subviews of the progressAlert.

Good point, thanks.

The only thing is, I would rather use à WhiteLarge as a style, and specify the center property instead of the frame, to avoid blurry resizing.

It worked for me, but i’m facing a little problem. Sometimes it jerks. Don’t really know the reason.

By the way, someone in the other community said that this approach is not recommended since Apple can reject the application since it’s not recommended. Recommended way is to create a new view and show the progress view or bar in that view and set the background to transparent.

Thanks for sharing your knowledge.

Just declare progressAlert as a variable of your class and check if it’s defined to see if the alert is present.
When you close it, set progressAlert to nil.

I will check this out…

Usually progress view or indicators are used to show the something is happening in the background. So, i’m guessing that we’ll be calling this method in a separate thread.

How can i check if the progress alert is present in our view, and how can we command it to close?
