React Native – ActivityIndicator


React Native – ActivityIndicator


”;


In this chapter we will show you how to use the activity indicator in React Native.

Step 1: App

App component will be used to import and show our ActivityIndicator.

App.js

import React from ''react''
import ActivityIndicatorExample from ''./activity_indicator_example.js''

const Home = () => {
   return (
      <ActivityIndicatorExample />
   )
}
export default Home

Step 2: ActivityIndicatorExample

Animating property is a Boolean which is used for showing the activity indicator. The latter closes six seconds after the component is mounted. This is done using the closeActivityIndicator() function.

activity_indicator_example.js

import React, { Component } from ''react'';
import { ActivityIndicator, View, Text, TouchableOpacity, StyleSheet } from ''react-native'';

class ActivityIndicatorExample extends Component {
   state = { animating: true }
   
   closeActivityIndicator = () => setTimeout(() => this.setState({
   animating: false }), 60000)
   
   componentDidMount = () => this.closeActivityIndicator()
   render() {
      const animating = this.state.animating
      return (
         <View style = {styles.container}>
            <ActivityIndicator
               animating = {animating}
               color = ''#bc2b78''
               size = "large"
               style = {styles.activityIndicator}/>
         </View>
      )
   }
}
export default ActivityIndicatorExample

const styles = StyleSheet.create ({
   container: {
      flex: 1,
      justifyContent: ''center'',
      alignItems: ''center'',
      marginTop: 70
   },
   activityIndicator: {
      flex: 1,
      justifyContent: ''center'',
      alignItems: ''center'',
      height: 80
   }
})

When we run the app, we will see the loader on screen. It will disappear after six seconds.
