Titanium.UI.Android.ProgressIndicator

viewAndroidsince 3.0.0

Extends Titanium.UI.ViewTitanium.Proxy

A progress dialog or a horizontal progress bar in the title of the window.

Android
Android

A progress indicator can be used to show the progress of an operation in the UI to let the user know that some action is taking place. It is used to indicate an ongoing activity of determinate or indeterminate length.

Use the Titanium.UI.Android.createProgressIndicator method or <ProgressIndicator> Alloy element to create a progress indicator.

A progress indicator can be either a progress dialog or a horizontal progress bar in the title of the window. The progress dialog is a modal dialog that blocks the UI. See also: Titanium.UI.Android.PROGRESS_INDICATOR_DIALOG, Titanium.UI.Android.PROGRESS_INDICATOR_STATUS_BAR.

NOTE: Titanium.UI.Android.PROGRESS_INDICATOR_STATUS_BAR does not work anymore on devices running Android 4.4+ since the underlying API was deprecated and removed by Google. See TIMOB-27312 for more details.

Calling Titanium.UI.Android.ProgressIndicator.show displays the indicator, and calling Titanium.UI.Android.ProgressIndicator.hide removes it.

Examples

Simple Progress Indicator

Click the button to show a progress indicator while some code executes and hide it on completion.

Ti.UI.backgroundColor = 'white';

var win = Ti.UI.createWindow({
  backgroundColor: 'blue'
});

var button = Ti.UI.createButton({
  title: 'Show Progress Dialog'
});

var progressIndicator = Ti.UI.Android.createProgressIndicator({
  message: 'Loading...',
  location: Ti.UI.Android.PROGRESS_INDICATOR_DIALOG,
  type: Ti.UI.Android.PROGRESS_INDICATOR_DETERMINANT,
  cancelable: true,
  min: 0,
  max: 10
});

button.addEventListener('click', function (e) {
  progressIndicator.show();
  var value = 0;
  setInterval(function(){
    if (value > 10) {
        return;
    }
    progressIndicator.value = value;
    value ++;
  }, 200);
  // do some work that takes 3 seconds
  // ie. replace the following setTimeout block with your code
  setTimeout(function(){
    progressIndicator.hide();
  }, 3000);
});

win.add(button);
win.open();

Alloy XML Markup

Previous example as an Alloy view-controller.

index.xml:

<Alloy>
    <Window backgroundColor="blue">
        <Button id="button" onClick="showIndicator">Show Progress Dialog</Button>

        <ProgressIndicator ns="Ti.UI.Android" platform="android" id="progressIndicator"
          message="Loading..." min="0" max="10" cancelable="true"
          location="Ti.UI.Android.PROGRESS_INDICATOR_DIALOG"
          type="Ti.UI.Android.PROGRESS_INDICATOR_DETERMINANT" />
    </Window>
</Alloy>

index.js:

function showIndicator(e) {
    $.progressIndicator.show();
    var value = 0;
    setInterval(function(){
        if (value > 10) {
            return;
        }
        $.progressIndicator.value = value;
        value ++;
    }, 200);
    // do some work that takes 3 seconds
    // ie. replace the following setTimeout block with your code
    setTimeout(function(){
        $.progressIndicator.hide();
    }, 3000);
}
$.index.open();
