Hello everyone, I'm a newbie to Xamarin Android and C#,
I want to display a progress bar(rotating circle) until the web API returns the results, How can I achieve this?
I have the following on button click event,
btnSubmit.Click += (sender, e) =>
{
var jobId = txtJobID.Text;
var request = HttpWebRequest.Create(string.Format("http://192.168.79.174:90/api/test/" + jobId));
request.ContentType = "application/json";
request.Method = "GET";
using (HttpWebResponse response = request.GetResponse() as HttpWebResponse)
{
if (response.StatusCode != HttpStatusCode.OK)
Console.Out.WriteLine("Error fetching data. Server returned status code: {0}", response.StatusCode);
using (StreamReader reader = new StreamReader(response.GetResponseStream()))
{
var content = reader.ReadToEnd();
dynamic arr = JsonConvert.DeserializeObject(content);
foreach (dynamic obj in arr)
{
tvJobID.Text = obj.JobID;
tvJobType.Text = obj.JobType;
tvDueDate.Text = obj.DueDate;
tvVisitTime.Text = obj.Time;
tvVisitStatus.Text = obj.VisitStatus;
tvAddress1.Text = obj.Address1;
tvAddress2.Text = obj.Address2;
tvPostCode.Text = obj.PostCode;
tvAuthority.Text = obj.Authority;
}
if (content == null || content == "" || content == "[]")
{
//Console.Out.WriteLine("Response contained empty body...");
layoutController.Visibility = ViewStates.Invisible;
Toast.MakeText(ApplicationContext, "Invalid Job ID or no visits for this ID. Please try again", ToastLength.Long).Show();
}
else
{
layoutController.Visibility = ViewStates.Visible;
}
}
}
};
I have this progress bar in the .axml
