GIFs become static when navigating

Hi Everyone,

I am using a GIF (loading spinner) in one of my screens, but it becomes static when the Navigate function starts.

Additional explanations:

Screen 1: Button with OnSelect property set to Navigate to LoadingScreen
LoadingScreen: GIF with loading spinner + Timer with OnTimerEnd set to Navigate(Screen2)
When the timer hits the end (1 second), the GIF freezes. The data from Screen2 is being loaded (a very large EditForm), but we're still not navigating to Screen2.

If I can provide any additional piece of information, don't hesitate to let me know!

Thank you and wishing you a great Christmas Eve,

ALEX

Hi,

A few questions:
1. How is that form populated? In other words, how are you passing the record that you want to edit to the form?
2. What do you have in the OnTimerStart property? If nothing, can you start loading the record in a variable in the OnTimerStart and then on the 2nd screen use that variable to display the record?

Let me know the answers to these and we can look further.

Hi @alexlrca ,

Could you please share a bit more about your issue?

Do you mean that the GIF freezes when the Timer control hits the end (1 second)? Do you mean that the LoadingScreen could not navigate to your Screen2?

Based on the issue that you mentioned, I have made a test on my side, and don't have the issue that you mentioned. Please set the Duration property of the Timer control to following:

3000

Set the AutoStart property to following:

true

Set the OnTimerEnd property of the Timer control to following:

Navigate(Screen2)

Note: Please make sure you do not specify any formula within the OnTimerStart property of the Timer control.

Actually, I think it is not necessary to add a LoadingScreen to achieve your needs. I think the LoadingSpinner property of the screen could also achieve your needs:

Please check and see if the following video resource could help in your scenario:
