Controlling the spinner

[Hawk]

Hi,

In my App, in the first page, there are around 10 services called to fetch data for the user. This takes relatively long time. The loading icon (spinner) shows only for 1 or 2 seconds and disappear, which makes the user thinks s/he can move forward before completing data load.
I tried to call codeshowSpinner();/code several times to make it show longer, but it did not work. It does not show at all.

I need to show the spinner longer time, if possible until all services are (complete), or at least I set a fixed time (e.g. 5 seconds).

Is that possible? If not, what options do I have in this case?

Many thanks,

Hello!

Try using showSpinner() function.

Hello,

You can remove the default spinner and use your's
preshowSpinner = null;
MyshowSpinner = function() {
/// your spinner animation here
}/pre

Only one minor inconvenience here - you need to launch your spinner each time programmatically before launching the service and hide it on complete.

Hi Alena,

How to use the same spinner or same animation that is used by the Android?

Do I need to do that for all pages (launching programmatically), or only the page that I would like to change the spinner display time for?

Many thank,

Hawk,

Do I need to do that for all pages (launching programmatically) ...?
Yes
