UIActivityIndicatorView stops spinning

I am experiencing that when I add a UIActivityIndicatorView as a subview of one of my UITableViewCells then it only spins for a short while and then it stops. Does anyone maybe know why?

This is in principle what I am doing in my code:

- (UITableViewCell *) tableView:(UITableView *)tableView cellForRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath {
    UITableViewCell *cell = [tableView dequeueReusableCellWithIdentifier:@"MyCell" forIndexPath:indexPath];

    if (indexPath.row == 0) cell.accessoryView = spinner;

    UILabel *label = (UILabel *)[cell viewWithTag:1];
    label.text = @"Some text";

    return cell;
}

where spinner is an IBOutlet:

IBOutlet UIActivityIndicatorView *spinner;

Try inserting this inside the function.

[spinner startAnimating];

If you want it to stop, call the stopAnimating method.

You need to manually start and stop the animation of the UIActivityIndicatroView. Example for your code

Add this where you want to start the animation:

[spinner startAnimating];

Add this where you want to stop the animation:

[spinner stopAnimating];

Hope this helps!
