In Xamarin.Forms, a "wait loader" or a loading indicator is typically used to inform the user that a time-consuming operation is in progress, such as data retrieval, processing, or any operation that may cause the UI to freeze or appear unresponsive.

Functions:

  1. Visual Feedback:

    • Purpose: Provide visual feedback to users that a process is in progress.
    • Importance: Users often appreciate knowing that their action has been acknowledged and that the application is actively working on their request.
  2. User Engagement:

    • Purpose: Keep users engaged during potentially lengthy operations.
    • Importance: A loader prevents users from feeling like the application has frozen or become unresponsive. It assures them that something is happening in the background.
  3. Expectation Management:

    • Purpose: Set clear expectations about the duration of the process.
    • Importance: Users are more likely to wait patiently if they have an idea of how long the process might take. A loader manages expectations and reduces perceived waiting time.
  4. Prevent User Interaction:

    • Purpose: Disable or limit user interactions during the process.
    • Importance: Preventing user interactions while a process is ongoing helps avoid unexpected behavior or errors that could result from user input during that time.
  5. Progress Indication:

    • Purpose: Communicate progress if the duration of the process is known.
    • Importance: For processes with a foreseeable duration, a loader can indicate progress, giving users a sense of how much work has been completed and how much is remaining.

Requirements:

  1. Visibility Control:

    • Requirement: The loader should be easily visible when active and hidden when the process is complete.
    • Importance: Users need to know when the application is actively processing their request and when it has completed the task.
  2. Clear Design:

    • Requirement: The loader should have a clear and easily understandable design.
    • Importance: Users should quickly recognize the loader and understand its purpose without confusion.
  3. Performance:

    • Requirement: The loader should not degrade overall application performance.
    • Importance: The loader itself should not contribute to increased loading times or negatively impact the application's responsiveness.
  4. Accessibility:

    • Requirement: The loader should be accessible to users with disabilities.
    • Importance: Ensure that users who rely on assistive technologies can still understand that a process is ongoing.
  5. Configurability:

    • Requirement: The loader should be configurable in terms of appearance and behavior.
    • Importance: Different parts of the application might have different loading requirements; hence, flexibility in configuring the loader is valuable.
  6. Consistency:

    • Requirement: The loader should maintain a consistent appearance and behavior across the application.
    • Importance: Consistency helps users become familiar with the loading experience, fostering a more intuitive and predictable user interface.

Implementing a wait loader effectively requires consideration of these functions and requirements to create a positive user experience and maintain the usability of the application, especially during background processes or network requests.

Here are the steps to use this project:

1, Tutorial video link :"https://youtu.be/42aczF8SYgc"

  1. Installation:

    • Install the NuGet package
  2. Register packages in IOS and Android

    IOS[AppDelegate]=>

    public override bool FinishedLaunching(UIApplication app, NSDictionary options)

    {

     global::Xamarin.Forms.Forms.Init();
    
     Rg.Plugins.Popup.Popup.Init();<----
    
     FFImageLoading.Forms.Platform.CachedImageRenderer.Init();<----
    
     LoadApplication(new App());
    
     return base.FinishedLaunching(app, options);
    

    }

    Android[MainActivity]==>

    protected override void OnCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState)

    {

     base.OnCreate(savedInstanceState);
    
     Rg.Plugins.Popup.Popup.Init(this);<-----
    
     FFImageLoading.Forms.Platform.CachedImageRenderer.Init(true);<-------
    
     Xamarin.Essentials.Platform.Init(this, savedInstanceState);
    
     global::Xamarin.Forms.Forms.Init(this, savedInstanceState);
    
     LoadApplication(new App());
    

    }

  3. Upgrade your "Xamarin.Forms" to version 5.0.0.2622 or later to address the Xamarin.Forms error during package installation.
