How do I get Activity Indicator on WkWebView Programmatically in Swift?

Does anyone know how to get an Activity Indicator to pop up and then disappear on a WKWebView(done programmatically). I have tried other's methods but either ran into errors or didn't have the Activity Indicator show up at all.

My code for loading the WKWebView:

 var webView : WKWebView!



    override func loadView() {

        super.loadView()



            let webConfiguration = WKWebViewConfiguration()

            webView = WKWebView(frame: .zero, configuration: webConfiguration)

        webView.uiDelegate = self

            view = webView

    }



    override func viewDidLoad() {



            self.webView.load(NSURLRequest(url: URL(string: "https://stackoverflow.com")!) as URLRequest);

    }

Could I possibly send the activity indicator to a UIAlertController or something like that?

at class level declare this property:

let indicator = UIActivityIndicatorView(style: .gray).

In viewDidLoad add:

indicator.center = webView.center indicator.hidesWhenStopped = true webView.addSubview(indicator)

To use

indicator.startAnimating() or indicator.stopAnimating() to show / hide it

func webView(_ webView: WKWebView, didFinish navigation: WKNavigation!) {

    yourActivityIndicator.stopAnimating()

    //or what you want



}

Remember: Set delegate!

Hint: you can set also this value:

color: UIColor;

transparent: bool; 

bigSize: bool
