How do I show a loading bezel on the iPhone?

Answer 1

You probably want the UIActivityIndicatorView

Answer 2

Two possible ways to do it:

1. The lazy way: Create a transparent PNG image containing the bezel and the loading... text. Display it on the screen and put a UIProgressView on top of it.
2. The better way: Use http://github.com/jdg/MBProgressHUD
