Preloading a gallery on a separate screen

Posted on by qhenry

Hello all,

I have a gallery on one page that is the 'home' page. I would like to create a loading spinner on another page, that after a few seconds via timer, automatically redirects to the actual home page. Is there any way to test for this as it is on a separate screen?

I don't think I have the option of using the CountRows fuction to test for it being blank, as sometimes the gallery may show blank. It is a work order system, and every once and a while it does become empty.

Why don't you use a Rectangle Icon screen sized put in front of all controls and also a .gif imported image (loading spinner) on top, both with Visible property set to OnLoading variable.
On OnVisible property of the screen you set a variable OnLoading to true, load your data for gallery and set again OnLoading to false.

Hi @qhenry ,

Do you want to create a Preloading screen within your app?

Do you want the Pre-loader screen to redirect to your Home screen after few seconds?

I have made a test on my side, please consider take a try with the following workaround:

1. Add a Pre-loader screen in your app, configure it as a Pre-loader page.

2. Add a Timer control within above Pre-loader screen, set the Duration property to following:

3000

set the AutoStart property to following:

true

set the OnTimerEnd property to following:

Navigate(HomeScreen)

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