4,342 PointsActivity Controller keeps spinning behind UICollectionView
Hi,
I added an activity controller to a custom subclass of a UICollectionViewController: https://www.dropbox.com/s/ca8d721nry5j92m/Activity_Controller.png
When my app loads this view controller, it's great because it spins and shows the user something is about to come up. Namely, pictures to populate the collection view.
By design, I have a 1 point space in between the cells of my collection view.
Strangely enough, even after all pictures are loaded, if you pay attention you can still see the activity wheel spin in the background.
Is there a way to remedy to that?
I'd be better if nothing would show.

OR
If not you could also try this, it calls a method after a certain amount of time:
performSelector:@selector(killSpinner) withObject:nil afterDelay:2];
-(void) killSpinner{
//stop the spinner here, remove it etc
}
Maybe removing it completely from the view, using removeFromSuperview
