Can I change the size of UIActivityIndicator?

Whatever size i give to it while allocation, it shows fixed size only. Is it possible to increase it?

Code:

activityIndicator = [[UIActivityIndicatorView alloc] initWithFrame:
                     CGRectMake(142.00, 212.00, 80.0, 80.0)];
[[self view] addSubview:activityIndicator];
[activityIndicator sizeToFit];
activityIndicator.autoresizingMask = (UIViewAutoresizingFlexibleLeftMargin |
                                      UIViewAutoresizingFlexibleRightMargin |
                                      UIViewAutoresizingFlexibleTopMargin |
                                      UIViewAutoresizingFlexibleBottomMargin);
activityIndicator.hidesWhenStopped = YES;
activityIndicator.activityIndicatorViewStyle = UIActivityIndicatorViewStyleWhiteLarge;

The following will create an activity indicator 15px wide:

#import <QuartzCore/QuartzCore.h>

...

UIActivityIndicatorView *activityIndicator = [[[UIActivityIndicatorView alloc] initWithActivityIndicatorStyle:UIActivityIndicatorViewStyleGray] autorelease];
activityIndicator.transform = CGAffineTransformMakeScale(0.75, 0.75);
[self addSubview:activityIndicator];

While I understand the sentiment of TechZen's answer, I don't think adjusting the size of a UIActivityIndicator by a relatively small amount is really a violation of Apple's standardized interface idioms - whether an activity indicator is 20px or 15px won't change a user's interpretation of what's going on.

Swift 3.0 & Swift 4.0

self.activityIndi.transform = CGAffineTransform(scaleX: 3, y: 3)

The size is fixed by the style. It's a standardized interface element so the API doesn't like to fiddle with it.

However, you probably could do a scaling transform on it. Not sure how that would affect it visually, however.

Just from a UI design perspective, its usually better to leave these common standardized elements alone. User have been taught that certain elements appear in a certain size and that they mean specific things. Altering the standard appearance alters the interface grammar and confuses the user.
