How do you show an Activity Spinner over a UITableView? I have a DetailViewController that's populated from a URL provided by a ListViewController; loading the data from the URL takes some time and the app is hung up on the ListViewController with the selected row highlighted. During this delay I want to display an activity indicator (loader) and hide it when data is loaded and the view did load.

Treehouse Guest Teacher@Anthony You should be using a library like AFNetworking so you can load the data in another thread to prevent blocking the main thread.
