The app I'm writing depends on having a network connection (both to the internet in general and to a specific host). The app works completely offline but the user needs to know it's offline.
I am using Reachability to watch for changes to the connection.
I was thinking of using a traffic light type system...
- Red = no connection to the internet.
- Yellow = connection to the internet but no connection to the host.
- Green = connection to host.
At the moment I am changing the tint colour of the UINavigationBar (until I can get something better). I was thinking of putting a coloured circle into the UIStatusBar to show red, yellow, green but I'm not sure if this is possible?
I don't want to hide anything on the status bar, just add my own graphic.
Is that possible? Could anyone explain how to do this? Or is there a better way of doing this that anyone could suggest?
