Activity indicator during HTTP.get/.post?

[Dan Brooking]

I'm working on something and using HTTP.post and that's working fine... but I'd like to have something pop up with it's working to indicate that something is happening.  I've been digging around trying to see if this is somehting I can do in Bubblewrap or if it needs to be done outside of Bubblewrap.  

The change log says "Added network activity notification to the HTTP wrapper." for version 0.2.0 so I'm thinking I can do this with Bubblewrap. Just not sure how...

any help would be appreciated

Thanks
Dan

This is done automatically via the network indicator on screen. The code I used to enabled this feature is here: https://github.com/rubymotion/BubbleWrap/blob/master/motion/http.rb#L117

If you want to display something else like a modal, you need to do that in your code. Remember that BubbleWrap HTTP wrap is async so if you use a block to make your request, the block will only be dispatched/executed when the response is coming back. Your code isn't blocked meaning that whatever you have after the block will probably execute first.

I don't use RubyMotion anymore so I don't have any examples handy but basically you could create a modal with a spinner and start it before you trigger the request and when the response comes back, you can remove the modal. Does it make sense?
