UIView Loading Indicator

[giovanepossebon]

• Create an UIView extension with loading indicators, with:
  • startLoading;
  • stopLoading;

We can change view opacity to a low level, hiding view information while the data are loading;

This way we have:

• view.startLoading()
• view.startLoading(withOpacityLevel: 0.3)
• view.startLoading(withCustomHUD: HUD.Normal, withOpacityLevel: 0.5)
• view.stopLoading()

@giovanepossebon I was wonder if add the spinner in the view with low opacity, the just added subview will be low opacity too, wont be?

[giovanepossebon]

@Morbix I thought about that, and we need to find an alternative to this, 'cause you are right, the opacity will affect the whole view, including the spinner

@giovanepossebon maybe working with the sublayers, or, caching the backgroundColor and setting the same color with alpha componente and setting the opacity just of the subviews.

[giovanepossebon]

@Morbix Can't we add as a superview centered in the view?

[Morbix]

@giovanepossebon sounds tricky, but it is not a bad ideia. It might works very well with autolayout's constraints.

@giovanepossebon When do you will stop the bullshit talk and start?

[giovanepossebon]

@Morbix When the time comes! hehe easy boy!

@giovanepossebon We will never got the time for this kind of things. We have to practice parallelism!
