Position MBProgressHUD at the Bottom/Top of the screen

Question

Is there a way to make the MBProgressHUD show at the bottom or top of the screen?

I have tried setting the frame using [hud setFrame:....];, initWithFrame, and setting thecenter property of the hud. None of these worked. I did an NSLog() of the frames after trying these methods. The values had changed but the hud still displayed at the center of the screen.

A thing to note, the hud is displayed using a UIWindow:

UIWindow *window = [[[UIApplication sharedApplication] windows] lastObject];
MBProgressHUD *hud = [MBProgressHUD showHUDAddedTo:window animated:YES];
hud.mode = MBProgressHUDModeText;
hud.labelText = @"some text";

Did this because the hud is displayed by a background execution block, thus the hud could be displayed on any view currently in display.

I had the same trouble with a SVProgressHUD turns out I just had to add a new method

+ (void)setOffsetFromCenter:(UIOffset)offset {
[self sharedView].offsetFromCenter = offset;
}

and call it when I showed the HUD

[SVProgressHUD setOffsetFromCenter:UIOffsetMake(0, 120)];

Mine just had to go a bit lower than mid-screen. Try it out, its a SingleTon so it's easier to call show and remove.

We can change position of MBProgressHUD via change in yOffset and xOffset. Below line of code is for place MBProgressHUD at bottom.

let hud = MBProgressHUD.showAdded(to: view, animated: true)
hud?.mode = .text
hud?.labelText = json!["message"] as! String
hud?.yOffset = Float(view.frame.size.height*2/5);
hud?.removeFromSuperViewOnHide = true
hud?.margin = 10.0
hud?.hide(true, afterDelay: 2)
