I am working on the following code and trying to show an activity indicator in the view whilst the page is loading..
I tried to implement the WKNavigationDelegate methods but I am failing as nothing shows.
Any suggestions on how to fix this?
I am not setting the SupportWebView view delegate anywhere but I wouldn't know how to do it in swift..
import UIKit
import WebKit
class SupportWebView: UIViewController, WKNavigationDelegate {
@IBOutlet var containerView : UIView? = nil
var webView: WKWebView?
override func loadView() {
super.loadView()
self.webView = WKWebView()
self.view = self.webView
}
override func viewDidLoad() {
super.viewDidLoad()
var dataManager = DataManager.sharedDataManager()
var url = dataManager.myValidURL
var req = NSURLRequest(URL:url!)
self.webView!.loadRequest(req)
}
override func didReceiveMemoryWarning() {
super.didReceiveMemoryWarning()
// Dispose of any resources that can be recreated.
}
func webView(webView: WKWebView, didStartProvisionalNavigation navigation: WKNavigation!) {
UIApplication.sharedApplication().networkActivityIndicatorVisible = true
}
func webView(webView: WKWebView, didFinishNavigation navigation: WKNavigation!) {
UIApplication.sharedApplication().networkActivityIndicatorVisible = false
}
}
As commented, you forgot to set the webView
delegate:
override func loadView() {
super.loadView()
self.webView = WKWebView()
self.webView.navigationDelegate = self
self.view = self.webView
}
You should use the delegate methods for all other purposes, but key path monitoring works fine for this one purpose.
Here is a Swift 4 implementation that works fine.
// Somewhere in your view controller
private var loadingObservation: NSKeyValueObservation?
private lazy var loadingIndicator: UIActivityIndicatorView = {
let spinner = UIActivityIndicatorView()
spinner.translatesAutoresizingMaskIntoConstraints = false
spinner.color = .black
return spinner
}()
override func viewDidLoad() {
super.viewDidLoad()
// Setup...
loadingObservation = webView.observe(\.isLoading, options: [.new, .old]) { [weak self] (_, change) in
guard let strongSelf = self else { return }
// this is fine
let new = change.newValue!
let old = change.oldValue!
if new && !old {
strongSelf.view.addSubview(strongSelf.loadingIndicator)
strongSelf.loadingIndicator.startAnimating()
NSLayoutConstraint.activate([strongSelf.loadingIndicator.centerXAnchor.constraint(equalTo: strongSelf.view.centerXAnchor),
strongSelf.loadingIndicator.centerYAnchor.constraint(equalTo: strongSelf.view.centerYAnchor)])
strongSelf.view.bringSubview(toFront: strongSelf.loadingIndicator)
}
else if !new && old {
strongSelf.loadingIndicator.stopAnimating()
strongSelf.loadingIndicator.removeFromSuperview()
}
}
}
Please, below code which is working fine[Swift 4.2].
@IBOutlet weak var wv: WKWebView!
@IBOutlet weak var activityIndicator: UIActivityIndicatorView!
override func viewDidLoad() {
super.viewDidLoad()
loadYoutube(videoID: "KqNS7uAvOxk")
}
Now load Youtube Video
func loadYoutube(videoID:String) {
guard let youtubeURL = URL(string: "https://www.youtube.com/embed/\(videoID)")
else { return }
wv.load( URLRequest(url: youtubeURL) )
wv.navigationDelegate = self
}
Implement below this function:
func showActivityIndicator(show: Bool) {
if show {
activityIndicator.startAnimating()
} else {
activityIndicator.stopAnimating()
}
}
Implement below these three delegate method:
func webView(_ webView: WKWebView, didFinish navigation:
WKNavigation!) {
showActivityIndicator(show: false)
}
func webView(_ webView: WKWebView, didStartProvisionalNavigation
navigation: WKNavigation!) {
showActivityIndicator(show: true)
}
func webView(_ webView: WKWebView, didFail navigation:
WKNavigation!, withError error: Error) {
showActivityIndicator(show: false)
}
Let me know if it is not working.
