The activity indicator does not appear depending on whether the UIWebView is loading or not.

Question

Sorry if this is easy. Basically, here is my code:

MainViewController.h

#import "FlipsideViewController.h"

@interface MainViewController : UIViewController <UIWebViewDelegate, FlipsideViewControllerDelegate> {
    IBOutlet UIWebView *webView;
    IBOutlet UIActivityIndicatorView *spinner;
}

- (IBAction)showInfo;

@property(nonatomic,retain) UIWebView *webView;
@property(nonatomic,retain) UIActivityIndicatorView *spinner;

@end

MainViewController.m

#import "MainViewController.h"
#import "MainView.h"

@implementation MainViewController

@synthesize webView;
@synthesize spinner;

- (id)initWithNibName:(NSString *)nibNameOrNil bundle:(NSBundle *)nibBundleOrNil {
    if (self = [super initWithNibName:nibNameOrNil bundle:nibBundleOrNil]) {
        // Custom initialization
    }
    return self;
}

 - (void)viewDidLoad {

     NSURL *siteURL;
     NSString *siteURLString;

     siteURLString=[[NSString alloc] initWithString:@"http://www.site.com"];

     siteURL=[[NSURL alloc] initWithString:siteURLString];

     [webView loadRequest:[NSURLRequest requestWithURL:siteURL]];

     [siteURL release];
     [siteURLString release];

 [super viewDidLoad];
 }

- (void)flipsideViewControllerDidFinish:(FlipsideViewController *)controller {

    [self dismissModalViewControllerAnimated:YES];
}

- (void)webViewDidFinishLoad:(UIWebView *)webView {
    [spinner stopAnimating];  
    spinner.hidden=FALSE;
    NSLog(@"viewDidFinishLoad went through nicely");
}

- (void)webViewDidStartLoad:(UIWebView *)webView {     
    [spinner startAnimating];     
    spinner.hidden=FALSE;
    NSLog(@"viewDidStartLoad seems to be working");
}

- (IBAction)showInfo {    

    FlipsideViewController *controller = [[FlipsideViewController alloc] initWithNibName:@"FlipsideView" bundle:nil];
    controller.delegate = self;

    controller.modalTransitionStyle = UIModalTransitionStyleFlipHorizontal;
    [self presentModalViewController:controller animated:YES];

    [controller release];
}

- (void)dealloc {
    [spinner release];
    [webView release];
    [super dealloc];
}


@end

Unfortunately, nothing is ever written to my journal, and for some reason it UIActivityIndicatornever appears. What's going on here?

Thanks guys

Answer 1

You need to install the UIWebView delegate. You implement the protocol, but you never tell UIWebView that this class is a delegate, so these methods will never be called.

webView.delegate = self;

, / , UIWebViewDelegate.

Answer 2

- webViewDidFinishLoad: -, URL-. , URL- , Safari? ?
