How can I add an view on top of a UIPopoverController containing a UINavigationController?

There are some nice 3rd party libraries out there that assist with loading data in the background and informing the user.

EDIT: I answered my own question below. I've got a UIPopoverController that has a UINavigationController set as its contentViewController. When the nav controller's root view controller loads, it needs to pull some data in.

I want to put a semi-transparent view over the entire popover that says "loading", but can't seem to find a way to add it to the entire thing. I've tried adding it to the nav controller's UINavigationBar (and changing the bar's clip subviews and autoresize subviews to NO), but the view is only visible on the bar (it seems to clip it anyway). If I add it to the view of the root view controller of the nav controller, it only shows up there and not on the bar.

Any ideas of how I can accomplish this? Objective-c ios uinavigationcontroller uinavigationbar uipopovercontroller link|improve this question edited Sep 8 '11 at 13:48 asked Sep 7 '11 at 21:10wermy11.

There are some nice 3rd party libraries out there that assist with loading data in the background and informing the user. The site cocoacontrols.com/platforms/ios/controls is very useful and saves you reinventing the wheel. For your problem I would checkout github.com/jdg/MBProgressHUD and see if that is what you're after.

Thanks for the response - cocoacontrols is a cool resource! Unfortunately the reason I want to find how to fully cover a popover is so that I can easily cover (and thus disable) any controls on the navigation bar inside the popover. – wermy Sep 8 '11 at 12:37.

I swear I tried this, but now it's working by adding the "loading" view to the navigation controller's view itself. Works perfectly! :).

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
