+# SDNetworkActivityIndicator
+
+Handle showing / hiding of the iOS network activity indicator to allow multiple concurrent threads to show / hide the indicator such that the indicator remains visible until all the requests have completed and requested the indicator to be hidden.
+
+## Requirements
+
+* iOS 5.0 or later.
+* ARC memory management.
+
+## Installation
+
+The easiest way to install it is by copying the following files to your project:
+
+* SDNetworkActivityIndicator.h
+* SDNetworkActivityIndicator.m
+
+## Usage
+
+* When you start a network activity (will show the network activity indicator):
+
+        [[SDNetworkActivityIndicator sharedActivityIndicator] startActivity];
+
+* When you finish a network activity (will hide the network activity indicator only if the number of calls to `stopActivity` matches the number of calls to `startActivity`):
+
+        [[SDNetworkActivityIndicator sharedActivityIndicator] stopActivity];
+
+* To hide the network activity indicator regardless of whether all activities have finished (without having to call `stopActivity` for each `startActivity` called):
+
+        [[SDNetworkActivityIndicator sharedActivityIndicator] stopAllActivity];
+
