Detailed Description
The BusyIndicator is a non-interactive display that shows a spinning circle. It should be shown while content is loading or when the UI is waiting for an action to be available.
For example, it could be used while a page is loading its contents:
import QtQuick 2.2
import Sailfish.Silica 1.0
Page {
BusyIndicator {
size: BusyIndicatorSize.Large
anchors.centerIn: parent
running: model.status == Model.Loading
}
}Or, while an image is loading:
Image {
id: image
source: "http://some/remote/icon.png"
sourceSize.width: Theme.iconSizeMedium
sourceSize.height: Theme.iconSizeMedium
BusyIndicator {
size: BusyIndicatorSize.Medium
anchors.centerIn: image
running: image.status != Image.Ready
}
}See also BusyLabel and PageBusyIndicator.
