How make Avatar show busy while loading image

[Alan Richert]

Hi,

Is there any way to make the avatar show a busy indicator over it whilst the image is loading?

If you set the ImageSource to a Uri that points to a location on a server somewhere, there is a delay whilst the image is downloaded (how long depends on the users connection). It would be great if the avatar has a circular progress over it to show it's busy whilst this is taking place.

Thanks!

Hi,

Thank you. Whilst it works, it is not ideal (time could vary so sometimes might look good and sometimes not).

Perhaps a feature suggestion for the team, is if you could expose a boolean property on sfAvatarView that indicates an image load is in progress, whilst the internals fetches and prepares the image.

Thank you.
