How can I specify load activity in a UITableView on iOS 7?

Question

I know that I can use SVProgressHUDat any time when I need to show the user that something is loading in full screen.

However, is there a regular way to show an activity indicator or a spinner inside UITableViewin iOS 7 design guides? I find SVProgressHUD just plain ugly in iOS 7 and I thought there should be a better solution.

What is Apple's way of doing this?

Answer 1

The apple way to do this is to show an activity indicator on top of the table view.

You can check the Native Mail app to work.

[refreshControl addTarget:self action:@selector(handleRefresh:) forControlEvents:UIControlEventValueChanged];
self.refreshControl = refreshControl;
