Providing loading feedback to users in 6.2

[barrymavin]

To simplify the requirement for "loading" feedback I have added in a new "Before refresh" delegate (there is already an "after refresh" delegate.

Inside the "before refresh" of a page of section....

Lianja.get("page.or.sectionid").hide()
Lianja.showLoadingMessage("Your message...")

Then in the "after refresh" delegate...

Lianja.get("page.or.sectionid").show()
Lianja.hideLoadingMessage()

The following methods have been added to the Lianja system object to provide visual feedback in web and mobile Apps. These are available in desktop, Web and mobile apps.

The underlying viewport is dimmed and the specified message displayed for 5 seconds but can be discarded by clicking (or touching) the screen. If a second argument is specified then no timeout will occur and the user must click or touch to discard the message.

Lianja.showSuccessMessageWithIcon("your message" [, notimeout as boolean])
Lianja.showWarningMessageWithIcon("your message" [, notimeout as boolean])
Lianja.showErrorMessageWithIcon("your message" [, notimeout as boolean])

Examples:

Lianja.showSuccessMessageWithIcon("Update succeeded");



Lianja.showWarningMessageWithIcon("Update succeeded with warnings");



Lianja.showErrorMessageWithIcon("Update failed");

Nice! Would you consider a slight change in arguments?
Something like:
Lianja.showSuccessMessageWithIcon("your message" [, ntimeout as integer]), where ntimeout is number of miliseconds to wait for user intervention, if omitted then the user needs to click/touch...

Thanks!

Your request is too late to be considered for 6.2 as it has now been released. I will look to add that in the next release. Please submit an enhancement request ticket.

This has been added into 6.2.1. The second argument if it is numeric is the number of seconds to wait for user intervention.

Hi Barry,

When using an rsp page as the first parameter, is there an option to have that page cover the entire page area in Lianja? That would give the look of a loading "page".

I have an rsp page used in a webview section (stretched) that, with the page and section headers hidden, looks great. I would like that same effect with an rsp used in a showLoadingMessage call.

thanks,

Hank

Hi Hank

No, it’s not designed to do that.

Are you wanting to customize the icon or what exactly.

[HankFay]

Hi Barry,

In the docs for Liana /showLoadingMessage for V6.2 it says: "In the web client, the message can also be the name of a .rsp file. " My hope was that this .rsp message could fill the available space in window in web.

thanks,

Hank

Hi Hank

No, it only provides the content for the small panel not the window. It’s not designed for that.
