I want to be able to show the progress spinner anywhere I want: Inside UITextField, Inside UITextView, Inside UIImageView, etc, etc. How do I do that? I am supposing that simply calling
[UIApplication sharedApplication].networkActivityIndicatorVisible = YES;
is not sufficient. I don't mind doing it in storyboard or programmatically.
You're looking for UIActivityIndicatorView. It's a UIView subclass, so you should be able to specify the position programatically or via interface builder.
