How to check if WkWebView finish loading in Objective-C?
I think the WKNavigationDelegate
's webView:didFinishNavigation: delegate callback is what you're looking for.
Configure and present your activity indicator when you start to load and then stop and remove it from view when the callback is called.
For anyone who is experiencing the issue of a webpage containing multiple frames and therefore doing multiple loads which interrups your load animation, I have implemented the following and it works for me in all the situations I have come across so far:
Swift:
var loadCount: Int = 0
override func viewDidLoad() {
super.viewDidLoad()
startLoading()
webview.navigationDelegate = self
let request = URLRequest(url: url)
webview.load(request)
}
func webView(_ webView: WKWebView, didStartProvisionalNavigation navigation: WKNavigation!) {
loadCount += 1
}
func webView(_ webView: WKWebView, didFinish navigation: WKNavigation!) {
loadCount -= 1
DispatchQueue.main.asyncAfter(deadline: .now() + 0.1) { [weak self] in
if self?.loadCount == 0 {
self?.stopLoading()
}
}
}
The basic idea is to start your load animation before you request the url, then count each request being made and only stop the load animation when your request count == 0. This is done after a slight delay as I find that some frames queue up requests synchronously so the next load will begin before the 0.1 second delay has completed.
