MobileBusyindicatorStart not working?

Post by strongbow » Tue Nov 12, 2013 10:34 pm

I've been trying to use the mobileBusyIndicatorStart and ...Stop commands to show the iOS busy indicator but nothing appears on the simulator nor the device...

Is there anything special you need to do for this?

Has anyone used it successfully??

cheers

Try a "wait 1 tick" after you call mobilebusyindicatorstart.

Heheh, so simple, but yet...

Works perfectly. Thanks Gerry! :-)

Even "wait 1 millisecs with messages" also allows it.

But shouldn't this be classified as a bug?

cheers,

Alan

Probably :)

Looking back at my code it's less than clear what the issue is (I do lots of complicated things that are hard to isolate). Can you make a recipe stack that clearly demonstrates the problem?

Added Bug 11439 to the Quality Control Center. Sample stack is in there.
