Using UIActivityIndicator-for-SDWebImage with Swift

Question

I'm using SDWebImage and I would like to add a loading indicator. I found the UIActivityIndicator-for-SDWebImage library, and I have tried to add it to my Swift project by adding this:

#import "UIImageView+UIActivityIndicatorForSDWebImage.h"

to my bridging header. For some reason I still can't access the extra parameter usingActivityIndicatorStyle when setting image URLs.

Anyone have any idea what I'm doing wrong? I've tried removing the .m and .h files and re-adding them, but it didn't help.

Add "use_frameworks!" in the Podfile

use_frameworks!

target '<YOUR TARGET>' do
.........
    pod 'UIActivityIndicator-for-SDWebImage'
.........
end

In "Pods -> UIActivityIndicator-for-SDWebImage -> UIImageView+UIActivityIndicatorForSDWebImage.h" replace:

#import "UIImageView+WebCache.h"
#import "SDImageCache.h"

With:

#import <SDWebImage/UIImageView+WebCache.h>
#import <SDWebImage/SDImageCache.h>

In "AppDelegate.swift" add

import UIActivityIndicator_for_SDWebImage

That's all.

P.S. You should correct Pods because author of UIActivityIndicator-for-SDWebImage wrote in description: "... I really don't want to keep this repo updated ...", and he really doesn't do it.

Will #import also work on pure Objective-C project? If so, I think the pod should update to this one so it works on both Objective-C and Swift. – John Pang Jul 19 '18 at 15:19
Sure, this pod wrote on Objective C and will work on both Objective-C and Swift projects. – Igor Jul 20 '18 at 00:42
I know this pod works on both Obj-C and Swift project. But the #import "SDImageCache.h" doesn't - we must unlock the file and modify it to #import <...>. However, on a pod update or reinstall, it revert to the git version. So, if "..." works for Obj-C only but <...> works on both, it is better to use <...> over "..." – John Pang Jul 21 '18 at 02:38
UIImageView+UIActivityIndicatorForSDWebImage.h, where changes should be done is Objective C file. Sure, on pod update changes will reverted. As this pod is not supported more, one way to prevent this is to create own fork and use it. – Igor Jul 21 '18 at 11:46

Swift 3 & SDWebImage 4.0.0

This will do the trick, try this code

        let urlString = URL(string: "Your image URL")
        yourImageView.sd_setIndicatorStyle(.gray)
        yourImageView.sd_setShowActivityIndicatorView(true)
        yourImageView.sd_setImage(with: urlString) { (loadedImage, error, cacheType, url) in
            yourImageView.sd_removeActivityIndicator()
            if error != nil {
                print("Error code: \(error!.localizedDescription)")
            } else {
                yourImageView.image = loadedImage
            }
        }
