Unable to see UIActivityIndicator in UIWebView

I am new to iPhone developer,

I am loading pages in my webview, loading takes too much time so i wan to show ActivityIndicator till the page loads,

Here is my code snippet but it is not working,

activityIndicator = [[UIActivityIndicatorView alloc]initWithActivityIndicatorStyle:UIActivityIndicatorViewStyleGray];
    activityIndicator.frame = CGRectMake(200.0, 200.0, 100.0, 40.0);
    activityIndicator.center = self.view.center;
    [self.view addSubview: activityIndicator];

    _webview=[[UIWebView alloc]init];
    [_webview setBackgroundColor:[UIColor grayColor]];
    [_webview setDelegate:(id<UIWebViewDelegate>)self];
    [self.view addSubview:_webview];

    [_webview bringSubviewToFront:activityIndicator];

...

 - (void)webViewDidStartLoad:(UIWebView *)webView {

     [UIApplication sharedApplication].networkActivityIndicatorVisible = YES;

     [activityIndicator startAnimating];
     activityIndicator.hidden=FALSE;
 }

- (void)webViewDidFinishLoad:(UIWebView *)webView {

    [UIApplication sharedApplication].networkActivityIndicatorVisible = NO;

    [activityIndicator stopAnimating];
    activityIndicator.hidden=TRUE;
}

but i am unable to see my activityIndicator

Any help will be appreciated.

You can also change the order in which you add subviews. Add the webview first, and then add the activity indicator:

_webview=[[UIWebView alloc]init];
[_webview setBackgroundColor:[UIColor grayColor]];
[_webview setDelegate:(id<UIWebViewDelegate>)self];
[self.view addSubview:_webview];

activityIndicator = [[UIActivityIndicatorView alloc]initWithActivityIndicatorStyle:UIActivityIndicatorViewStyleGray];
activityIndicator.frame = CGRectMake(200.0, 200.0, 100.0, 40.0);//you should also keep the height and width equal
activityIndicator.center = self.view.center;
[self.view addSubview: activityIndicator];

And get rid of the line that follows:[_webview bringSubviewToFront:activityIndicator];

You are adding the UIActivityIndicatorView directly to the self.view and later you are trying to bringSubviewToFront from the UIWebView. Check with: 

[self.view bringSubviewToFront:activityIndicator];

Change [_webview bringSubviewToFront:activityIndicator]; to [self.view bringSubviewToFront:activityIndicator];
