How to add an UIView to the front most view of the whole iOS in the tweak application?

Question

My app is a tweak app running in SpringBoard, in which I want to use MBProgressHUD, but it need to specify a view to add to, so how can I get the font most view of the whole iOS?

I should do like that:

MBProgressHUD *hud = [MBProgressHUD showHUDAddedTo:fronMostView animated:YES];
hud.mode = MBProgressHUDModeText;
hud.labelText = [Localization localize:@"Finished!"];
[hud hide:YES afterDelay:1];

Answer 1

The best place to add this view is AppDelegate. Add view in to appDelegate window will show to top front for whole application. Also it remains on top until you hide or remove this view from appDelegate window.

Create a global object of MBProgressHUD in AppDelegate class and create show/hide methods.

Call this methods respectively for your convenience use.

For Example:

@property (nonatomic, strong)  MBProgressHUD   *hud;

- (void) showProgress:(NSString *)message {

    // Create a loading view
    if (!self.hud) {
        _hud = [MBProgressHUD showHUDAddedTo:fronMostView animated:YES];
        self.hud.mode = MBProgressHUDModeText;

        // Add Progress to window.
       [self.window addSubview:self.hud];
    }

    self.hud.hidden = NO;
    self.hud.labelText = [Localization localize:message];
}


- (void) hideLoadingMessage {
    self.hud.labelText = [Localization localize:@"Finished!"];
    [self.hud hide:YES afterDelay:1];
}

Answer 2

try

UIWindow* window = [[UIApplication sharedApplication] keyWindow];

or

UIWindow *window = [UIApplication sharedApplication].windows.lastObject;

Then

MBProgressHUD *hud = [MBProgressHUD showHUDAddedTo:window animated:YES];

Here is a topic about this, maybe it'll be useful.
