SifterReader now has progress bars. Wow! This is huge! Seriously, the Android Dev Guide says that if any activity takes longer than normal, it should use a progress bar to indicate to the user that the activity hasn't hung. I actually tried to use SifterReader in a dead zone, and without the progress bars it does seem like the application has hung. BTW: they're actually spinning circles, not bars, but that's what they're called when the activity is indefinite. So now when you start SifterReader, you will see a spinning progress bar that says, "loading ..."
- before the projects page is shown,
- when selecting a project detail, e.g. issues,
- when navigating issues with the previous, next and go buttons
- and after setting issue filters.
I haven't put a progress bar after queries, because it will take a little more effort I think. If anyone else is interested in adding that, please
fork SifterReader on Github or
on bitbucket.
