User should see a loading screen instead of the default values for the screens

[nashirj]

On screens where fields are populated after a network request is made, the user should not see the default values. Maybe ask in iOS help about this?

Maybe a loading spinner or something

@nashirj I am having trouble making the loading indication work for the tableView when going to the ProfileView and the AccountDetailsView.

How the loading indicator works for when I navigate to the RideDetails:
I call self.showSpinner(onView: self.view) when the view is loading to display the indicator. When everything has appeared, I call self.removeSpinner() to remove the indicator from the screen.

Issue on tableViews:
The issue, in my understanding is this: even though there is a way to check if all the cells in the tableView have loaded, I could not find a way to check if they all are displayed. So I can show the indictor, but not find the spot when the tableView has completed displaying data for me to remove the indicator.

Look at my branch issue_83 and lmk if you find a way to do it. We can discuss further too if needed.

check this out, seems like it might be useful: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/4163579/how-to-detect-the-end-of-loading-of-uitableview

are you saying though that this isn't giving you enough information? like the cells are loaded but not yet displayed?

Done for now, need to revisit later
