iOS popup Cydia-like

Question

How can I let my app popup something like Cydia's "Reloading Data"/"Loading Data" (like this)?

Is it a public API by Apple?

How do I call this?

Can I specify which image to display instead of the Loading indicator?

Answer 1

First of all, it's neither a public, not a private Apple API - it's a custom control.

Second, why don't you just use Cydia's implementation itself?

Third, if not, there are alternatives as well.

Answer 2

I would do it adding an image view, a label and an activity indicator. You could even develop a subclass and upload it to GitHub!
