Bummer this isn't part of SDWebImage :( Would be very nice to have UIActivityIndicatorViews while images are loading out of the box, rather than adding another external repo or hacking something together.

Hey @MartinHerman ,
you can add this other project to your Podfile: https://github.com/JJSaccolo/UIActivityIndicator-for-SDWebImage

They don't want an activity indicator on the main project.

Hi guys. Sorry it took so much, but I will reopen the pull request and think about this in the near future. Note: I briefly looked at the implementation from JJSaccolo and I would avoid having another set of setImageWithUrl methods just for the usingActivityIndicatorStyle param. That would make this library even harder to maintain. But maybe we can find some other way

Create a category is nice idea. :)
