TIP: Loading spinner on vertical list

[brad.h]

Since the is loading doesn’t seem to work as expected (it’s always yes)…I found this extremely helpful and wanted to turn into it’s own post.

Continuing the discussion from Selectable Lists - showing wait icon while it loads:

For this, I use the condition “vertical list’s is loading is ‘no’” to hide the group “Currently loading”. This means that the group is visible by default.
If you have a large set of data, the vertical list’s is loading will be ‘yes’, because not all the data loads at once in a vertical list.
So, if the user scrolls down quickly and reaches the bottom of the vertical list while the list is still loading the rest of the data, the group “Currently loading” will remain visible until the loading is completed.

If you want to go further, you can also add a group or text element “No more results to show” and set it to visible under the condition “vertical list’s is loading is ‘no’”. –> Haven’t tried this so far.
