ios - Changing activity indicator color to black

Question

I'm trying to change my activity indicator to a custom color like black. However it does not seem to apply at all and has the standard white color still.

What i've done is creating a UIView and and added a activity indicator as a subView and then added this to the tableFooterView.

How can I change the activity indicator color?

ViewDidLoad:

    let footerView = UIView(frame: CGRectMake(0, 0, self.view.frame.size.width, 40))
    footerView.backgroundColor = UIColor(rgba: "#f6f7f9")
    var actInd: UIActivityIndicatorView = UIActivityIndicatorView()
    actInd.color = UIColor.blackColor()
    actInd.frame = CGRectMake(self.view.frame.size.width/2-10, 0.0, 20.0, 20.0);

    actInd.activityIndicatorViewStyle =
        UIActivityIndicatorViewStyle.WhiteLarge
    footerView.addSubview(actInd)
    actInd.startAnimating()
    self.tableVIew.tableFooterView = footerView

Answer 1

You need to set the color after you set the activity indicator style. It seems that setting the activityIndicatorViewStyle resets the color for the activityIndicator

So just do this:

// .... 

activityIndicator.activityIndicatorViewStyle = UIActivityIndicatorViewStyle.whiteLarge
activityIndicator.color = .black
footerView.addSubview(activityIndicator)
activityIndicator.startAnimating()
self.tableView.tableFooterView = footerView

This should work just fine.
