Activity indicator is not being removed from googlemap view

Question

I have developed a google map in which i am displaying atm's nearby user location. I have added an activity indicator to animate when my application is getting the information and it should stop when it has got.

I have written the following code to do so. My activity indicator is being displayed but it is not removed. Please help me to do so.

   #import "ViewController.h"
#import <GoogleMaps/GoogleMaps.h>


@interface ViewController ()<GMSMapViewDelegate>
{
    NSUserDefaults *latitudess;
    NSUserDefaults *longitudess;
    GMSMapView *mapView_;
    UIView *viewForSlider;
    UILabel *labelToShowCurrentRadiusValue;
    NSMutableData *urldata;
    NSInteger *j;
    UIActivityIndicatorView *spinner;

}

@end

Thanks in advance.

Answer 1

change in view didload call this method last after display spinner in [self displayAtm];

- (void)viewDidLoad 
{
    [self startUserTracking];
   //  [self displayAtm];



spinner = [[UIActivityIndicatorView alloc]initWithFrame:CGRectMake(135,140,50,50)];
    spinner.color = [UIColor blueColor];
    [spinner startAnimating];
        [self.view addSubview:spinner];

[self displayAtm];

}
