Preloading a gallery on a separate screen

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by 24

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:
