Hello,
I wonder, if it’s possible to add simple progress/loading bar, for example to startup image/screen(to indicate, that app is still loading).
Any ideas?

[Max87]

Thanks for answer Octavio.

follow up question please…

what about between pages?

Page A – enter data and click then calls javascript that calls web service. sometimes takes a minute to get response..
Page B – displays data from web service call…

I would like to display a loading bar or the ‘chasing’ icon or something similar to show background task in progress..
otherwise the user keeps pounding the button.

any suggestion?

thanks.

I figured out how to do my “page to page” show loading requirement with even some animation (chasing tail .gif) using timers..
so never mind my question above..

thanks

[JohnWord]

thanks! – will try it..

Hi Octavio,
are you sure, that semicolon in phoneui.showActivityDialog(“Loading Data”) is not missing?
Thanks.

You’re welcome Octavio

Does someone know where I can find more information about (perhaps) useful functions in the phoneui namespace/library ?

[skip8it]

Im not sure exactly where you would put that code ?

[skip8it]

if its not to much,, could you post a pic, specifying the location of the code

[Max87]

skip8it: are you answering tobi? Or are you interested in phoneui.showActivityDialog?

[skip8it]

no Im not answering tobi.. Im not sure where exactly to place the code phoneui.showActivityDialog(“Message”) .. thank you for the fast response, everyone on here seems to be so helpful 😉

[Max87]

you can put it wherever you want 🙂
the point is, you show the dialog by calling that function. Dialog is showed until you call ide function.
So for example, you have to populate custom list from database from one screen to another, and you have to set timeout for 1sec before it transfers you to new page. You call showDialog function to inform user, that something is happening and when your stuff is done, simply call hideDialog function.

[skip8it]

which js file… phoneui.js , custom.js,? , im not sure where to place it… can you post a pic,, because I cant seem to get it to work…

[Max87]

Every custom code you have to put into <project name>_custom.js
Do not edit other .js, .css or html files generated by Mobione, because if you do and when you change something in Design center and send project to Test center, Mobione asks you, if you want to overwrite that files(so you loose changes created in Design center or by editing that files).
