The following code is from a sample demo.
HUD = [[MBProgressHUD alloc] initWithView:self.navigationController.view];
[self.navigationController.view addSubview:HUD];
HUD.delegate = self;
HUD.labelText = @"Loading";
[HUD showWhileExecuting:@selector(myTask) onTarget:self withObject:nil animated:YES];
It uses .xibs as it views. I'm creating an application that uses storyboards. Thus there is no navigationController for the initWithView method when instantiating HUD. Is there any way to implement a HUD without using .xibs and a navigationController. I've tried passing both "self" and "self.view" but they don't work. The class that this is in is the ViewController.m class and it is a UIViewController class. So I don't see why passing self wouldn't work.
This is my code
HUD = [[MBProgressHUD alloc] initWithView:self.view];
[self.view addSubview:HUD];
Again "self" is my main ViewController
Thanks!
Here's what I think you want:
MBProgressHUD *hud = [[MBProgressHUD alloc] initWithView:view];
[view addSubview:hud];
[hud showWhileExecuting:@selector(YOUR_TASK) onTarget:YOUR_TARGET withObject:nil animated:YES]; // or NO if you don't want it to be animated
Alternatively, if you want to manage showing and displaying the HUD manually yourself, there's some nice convenience methods for doing that:
// To add HUD to a view
MBProgressHUD *hud = [MBProgressHUD showHUDAddedTo:view animated:YES]; // or NO if you don't want it to be animated
// To set HUD text
[hud setLabelText:@"Text"];
// To remove HUD from a view (such as later in the code, after load, etc)
[MBProgressHUD hideHUDForView:view animated:YES];
Where view is the view you want the HUD added/removed from.
I.e. self.view on a view controller.
