• To install, cordova plugin add https://github.com/bormansquirrel/WaitingDialog.git

  • Oh, but ya know sometimes things get out of sync so you have to re-add the ios platform. Thank you [SO] (http://stackoverflow.com/a/19733423)!

    #!/bin/bash
    echo "Killing xcode..."
    kill $(ps aux | grep 'Xcode' | awk '{print $2}')
    rm -r platforms/ios
    rm plugins/ios.json
    cordova platforms add ios
    cordova build ios
    open platforms/ios/*.xcodeproj

• To remove, cordova plugin rm org.apache.cordova.plugins.WaitingDialog

Waiting dialog for iOS applications

Created by Guido Sabatini

Creates a modal dialog to give a waiting feedback to users You can only show and dismiss the dialog, it will block user interactions. You can set the text appearing in the dialog

NOTE: this is not a progress dialog, you can not show progress

// To SHOW a modal waiting dialog
window.plugins.waitingDialog.show("Your dialog text");

// To HIDE the dialog
window.plugins.waitingDialog.hide();

If you want to show a waiting dialog for a certain amount of time, you can use javascript setTimeout

// show dialog
window.plugins.waitingDialog.show("Your dialog text");
// automatically hide dialog after 5 seconds
setTimeout(function() {window.plugins.waitingDialog.hide();}, 5000);
