h1. SVStatusHUD

SVStatusHUD mimics the HUD shown on orientation lock, mute and volume change on iOS. It should only be used in response to hardware or other important notifications (for instance when an accessory is detected by your app). If you’re just looking to show the progress or success of an operation, you should have a look at “SVProgressHUD”:https://github.com/samvermette/SVProgressHUD.

SVStatusHUD features:

  • simple singleton convenience methods (@[SVStatus method]@)
  • automatic styling of the image it’s provided
  • optional status string and showing duration
  • automatic positioning based on device type and orientation

h2. Installation

  • Drag the @SVStatusHUD/SVStatusHUD@ folder into your project.
  • Add the QuartzCore framework to your project.

If you plan on using SVStatusHUD in a lot of places inside your app, I recommend importing it directly inside your prefix file.

h2. Usage

(see sample Xcode project in @/Demo@)

SVStatusHUD is created as a singleton (i.e. it doesn’t need to be explicitly allocated and instantiated; you directly call @[SVStatusHUD method]@) and can be shown using one of the following convenience/class methods:

+ (void)showWithImage:(UIImage*)image;
+ (void)showWithImage:(UIImage*)image status:(NSString*)string;
+ (void)showWithImage:(UIImage*)image status:(NSString*)string duration:(NSTimeInterval)duration;

Important: for crispier rendering, provided image should precisely be 86x86 pixels (retina: 172x172).

h2. Automatic Reference Counting (ARC) support

Maintaining an official ARC branch has proven to be too much work, often leading to confusion since the ARC branch is always a few commits behind. If you’d like to use SVStatusHUD in your ARC-enabled project, you’ll have to “add the @-fno-objc-arc@ compiler flag”:http://stackoverflow.com/questions/6646052/how-can-i-disable-arc-for-a-single-file-in-a-project to all of SVStatusHUD’s files.
