Trying to add a full screen activity indicator in SwiftUI.
I can use .overlay(overlay: ) function in View Protocol.
With this, I can make any view overlay, but I can't find the iOS default style UIActivityIndicatorView equivalent in SwiftUI.
How can I make a default style spinner with SwiftUI?
NOTE: This is not about adding activity indicator in UIKit framework.
As of Xcode 12 beta (iOS 14), a new view called ProgressView is available to developers, and that can display both determinate and indeterminate progress.
Its style defaults to CircularProgressViewStyle, which is exactly what we're looking for.
var body: some View {
VStack {
ProgressView()
// and if you want to be explicit / future-proof...
// .progressViewStyle(CircularProgressViewStyle())
}
}
Xcode 11.x
Quite a few views are not yet represented in SwiftUI, but it's easily to port them into the system.
You need to wrap UIActivityIndicator and make it UIViewRepresentable.
(More about this can be found in the excellent WWDC 2019 talk - Integrating SwiftUI)
struct ActivityIndicator: UIViewRepresentable {
@Binding var isAnimating: Bool
let style: UIActivityIndicatorView.Style
func makeUIView(context: UIViewRepresentableContext<ActivityIndicator>) -> UIActivityIndicatorView {
return UIActivityIndicatorView(style: style)
}
func updateUIView(_ uiView: UIActivityIndicatorView, context: UIViewRepresentableContext<ActivityIndicator>) {
isAnimating ? uiView.startAnimating() : uiView.stopAnimating()
}
}
Then you can use it as follows - here's an example of a loading overlay.
Note: I prefer using ZStack, rather than overlay(:_), so I know exactly what's going on in my implementation.
struct LoadingView<Content>: View where Content: View {
@Binding var isShowing: Bool
var content: () -> Content
var body: some View {
GeometryReader { geometry in
ZStack(alignment: .center) {
self.content()
.disabled(self.isShowing)
.blur(radius: self.isShowing ? 3 : 0)
VStack {
Text("Loading...")
ActivityIndicator(isAnimating: .constant(true), style: .large)
}
.frame(width: geometry.size.width / 2,
height: geometry.size.height / 5)
.background(Color.secondary.colorInvert())
.foregroundColor(Color.primary)
.cornerRadius(20)
.opacity(self.isShowing ? 1 : 0)
}
}
}
}
To test it, you can use this example code:
struct ContentView: View {
var body: some View {
LoadingView(isShowing: .constant(true)) {
NavigationView {
List(["1", "2", "3", "4", "5"], id: \.self) { row in
Text(row)
}.navigationBarTitle(Text("A List"), displayMode: .large)
}
}
}
}
Result:
it's just a simple view.
ProgressView()
Currently, it's defaulted to CircularProgressViewStyle but you can manually set the style of it by adding the following modifer:
.progressViewStyle(CircularProgressViewStyle())
Also, the style could be anything that conforms to ProgressViewStyle
Fully customizable Standard
UIActivityIndicatorin SwiftUI: (Exactly as a nativeView):
You can build and configure it (as much as you could in the original UIKit):
ActivityIndicator(isAnimating: loading)
.configure { $0.color = .yellow } // Optional configurations ( bouns)
.background(Color.blue)
struct and you will be good to go:struct ActivityIndicator: UIViewRepresentable {
typealias UIView = UIActivityIndicatorView
var isAnimating: Bool
fileprivate var configuration = { (indicator: UIView) in }
func makeUIView(context: UIViewRepresentableContext<Self>) -> UIView { UIView() }
func updateUIView(_ uiView: UIView, context: UIViewRepresentableContext<Self>) {
isAnimating ? uiView.startAnimating() : uiView.stopAnimating()
configuration(uiView)
}
}
With this little helpful extension, you can access the configuration through a modifier like other SwiftUI views:
extension View where Self == ActivityIndicator {
func configure(_ configuration: @escaping (Self.UIView)->Void) -> Self {
Self.init(isAnimating: self.isAnimating, configuration: configuration)
}
}
Also you can configure the view in a classic initializer:
ActivityIndicator(isAnimating: loading) {
$0.color = .red
$0.hidesWhenStopped = false
//Any other UIActivityIndicatorView property you like
}
This method is fully adaptable. For example, you can see How to make TextField become the first responder with the same method here
If you want to a swift-ui-style solution, then this is the magic:
import Foundation
import SwiftUI
struct ActivityIndicator: View {
@State private var isAnimating: Bool = false
var body: some View {
GeometryReader { (geometry: GeometryProxy) in
ForEach(0..<5) { index in
Group {
Circle()
.frame(width: geometry.size.width / 5, height: geometry.size.height / 5)
.scaleEffect(calcScale(index: index))
.offset(y: calcYOffset(geometry))
}.frame(width: geometry.size.width, height: geometry.size.height)
.rotationEffect(!self.isAnimating ? .degrees(0) : .degrees(360))
.animation(Animation
.timingCurve(0.5, 0.15 + Double(index) / 5, 0.25, 1, duration: 1.5)
.repeatForever(autoreverses: false))
}
}
.aspectRatio(1, contentMode: .fit)
.onAppear {
self.isAnimating = true
}
}
func calcScale(index: Int) -> CGFloat {
return (!isAnimating ? 1 - CGFloat(Float(index)) / 5 : 0.2 + CGFloat(index) / 5)
}
func calcYOffset(_ geometry: GeometryProxy) -> CGFloat {
return geometry.size.width / 10 - geometry.size.height / 2
}
}
Simply to use:
ActivityIndicator()
.frame(width: 50, height: 50)
Hope it helps!
Example Usage:
ActivityIndicator()
.frame(width: 200, height: 200)
.foregroundColor(.orange)
Although Apple supports native Activity Indicator now from the SwiftUI 2.0, You can Simply implement your own animations. These are all supported on SwiftUI 1.0. Also it is working in widgets.
struct Arcs: View {
@Binding var isAnimating: Bool
let count: UInt
let width: CGFloat
let spacing: CGFloat
var body: some View {
GeometryReader { geometry in
ForEach(0..<Int(count)) { index in
item(forIndex: index, in: geometry.size)
.rotationEffect(isAnimating ? .degrees(360) : .degrees(0))
.animation(
Animation.default
.speed(Double.random(in: 0.2...0.5))
.repeatCount(isAnimating ? .max : 1, autoreverses: false)
)
}
}
.aspectRatio(contentMode: .fit)
}
private func item(forIndex index: Int, in geometrySize: CGSize) -> some View {
Group { () -> Path in
var p = Path()
p.addArc(center: CGPoint(x: geometrySize.width/2, y: geometrySize.height/2),
radius: geometrySize.width/2 - width/2 - CGFloat(index) * (width + spacing),
startAngle: .degrees(0),
endAngle: .degrees(Double(Int.random(in: 120...300))),
clockwise: true)
return p.strokedPath(.init(lineWidth: width))
}
.frame(width: geometrySize.width, height: geometrySize.height)
}
}

For the sake of preventing walls of code, you can find more elegant indicators in this repo hosted on the git.
Note that all these animations have a Binding that MUST toggle to be run.
struct ContentView: View {
@State private var isCircleRotating = true
@State private var animateStart = false
@State private var animateEnd = true
var body: some View {
ZStack {
Circle()
.stroke(lineWidth: 10)
.fill(Color.init(red: 0.96, green: 0.96, blue: 0.96))
.frame(width: 150, height: 150)
Circle()
.trim(from: animateStart ? 1/3 : 1/9, to: animateEnd ? 2/5 : 1)
.stroke(lineWidth: 10)
.rotationEffect(.degrees(isCircleRotating ? 360 : 0))
.frame(width: 150, height: 150)
.foregroundColor(Color.blue)
.onAppear() {
withAnimation(Animation
.linear(duration: 1)
.repeatForever(autoreverses: false)) {
self.isCircleRotating.toggle()
}
withAnimation(Animation
.linear(duration: 1)
.delay(0.5)
.repeatForever(autoreverses: true)) {
self.animateStart.toggle()
}
withAnimation(Animation
.linear(duration: 1)
.delay(1)
.repeatForever(autoreverses: true)) {
self.animateEnd.toggle()
}
}
}
}
}
Activity indicator in SwiftUI
import SwiftUI
struct Indicator: View {
@State var animateTrimPath = false
@State var rotaeInfinity = false
var body: some View {
ZStack {
Color.black
.edgesIgnoringSafeArea(.all)
ZStack {
Path { path in
path.addLines([
.init(x: 2, y: 1),
.init(x: 1, y: 0),
.init(x: 0, y: 1),
.init(x: 1, y: 2),
.init(x: 3, y: 0),
.init(x: 4, y: 1),
.init(x: 3, y: 2),
.init(x: 2, y: 1)
])
}
.trim(from: animateTrimPath ? 1/0.99 : 0, to: animateTrimPath ? 1/0.99 : 1)
.scale(50, anchor: .topLeading)
.stroke(Color.yellow, lineWidth: 20)
.offset(x: 110, y: 350)
.animation(Animation.easeInOut(duration: 1.5).repeatForever(autoreverses: true))
.onAppear() {
self.animateTrimPath.toggle()
}
}
.rotationEffect(.degrees(rotaeInfinity ? 0 : -360))
.scaleEffect(0.3, anchor: .center)
.animation(Animation.easeInOut(duration: 1.5)
.repeatForever(autoreverses: false))
.onAppear(){
self.rotaeInfinity.toggle()
}
}
}
}
struct Indicator_Previews: PreviewProvider {
static var previews: some View {
Indicator()
}
}
I implemented the classic UIKit indicator using SwiftUI. See the activity indicator in action here
struct ActivityIndicator: View {
@State private var currentIndex: Int = 0
func incrementIndex() {
currentIndex += 1
DispatchQueue.main.asyncAfter(deadline: .now() + .milliseconds(50), execute: {
self.incrementIndex()
})
}
var body: some View {
GeometryReader { (geometry: GeometryProxy) in
ForEach(0..<12) { index in
Group {
Rectangle()
.cornerRadius(geometry.size.width / 5)
.frame(width: geometry.size.width / 8, height: geometry.size.height / 3)
.offset(y: geometry.size.width / 2.25)
.rotationEffect(.degrees(Double(-360 * index / 12)))
.opacity(self.setOpacity(for: index))
}.frame(width: geometry.size.width, height: geometry.size.height)
}
}
.aspectRatio(1, contentMode: .fit)
.onAppear {
self.incrementIndex()
}
}
func setOpacity(for index: Int) -> Double {
let opacityOffset = Double((index + currentIndex - 1) % 11 ) / 12 * 0.9
return 0.1 + opacityOffset
}
}
struct ActivityIndicator_Previews: PreviewProvider {
static var previews: some View {
ActivityIndicator()
.frame(width: 50, height: 50)
.foregroundColor(.blue)
}
}
A convenient way in SwiftUI that I found useful is 2 step approach:
Create a ViewModifier that will embed your view into ZStack and add progress indicator on top. Could be something like this:
struct LoadingIndicator: ViewModifier {
let width = UIScreen.main.bounds.width * 0.3
let height = UIScreen.main.bounds.width * 0.3
func body(content: Content) -> some View {
return ZStack {
content
.disabled(true)
.blur(radius: 2)
//gray background
VStack{}
.frame(width: UIScreen.main.bounds.width, height: UIScreen.main.bounds.height)
.background(Color.gray.opacity(0.2))
.cornerRadius(20)
.edgesIgnoringSafeArea(.all)
//progress indicator
ProgressView()
.frame(width: width, height: height)
.background(Color.white)
.cornerRadius(20)
.opacity(1)
.shadow(color: Color.gray.opacity(0.5), radius: 4.0, x: 1.0, y: 2.0)
}
}
Create view extension that will make conditional modifier application available to any view:
extension View {
/// Applies the given transform if the given condition evaluates to `true`.
/// - Parameters:
/// - condition: The condition to evaluate.
/// - transform: The transform to apply to the source `View`.
/// - Returns: Either the original `View` or the modified `View` if the condition is `true`.
@ViewBuilder func `if`<Content: View>(_ condition: Bool, transform: (Self) -> Content) -> some View {
if condition {
transform(self)
} else {
self
}
}
}
Usage is very intuitive. Suppose that myView() returns whatever your view is. You just conditionally apply the modifier using .if view extension from step 2:
var body: some View {
myView()
.if(myViewModel.isLoading){ view in
view.modifier(LoadingIndicator())
}
}
In case that myViewModel.isLoading is false, no modifier will be applied, so loading indicator won't show.
Of course, you can use any kind of progress indicator you wish - default or your own custom one.
In addition to Mojatba Hosseini's answer,
I've made a few updates so that this can be put in a swift package:
Activity indicator:
import Foundation
import SwiftUI
import UIKit
public struct ActivityIndicator: UIViewRepresentable {
public typealias UIView = UIActivityIndicatorView
public var isAnimating: Bool = true
public var configuration = { (indicator: UIView) in }
public init(isAnimating: Bool, configuration: ((UIView) -> Void)? = nil) {
self.isAnimating = isAnimating
if let configuration = configuration {
self.configuration = configuration
}
}
public func makeUIView(context: UIViewRepresentableContext<Self>) -> UIView {
UIView()
}
public func updateUIView(_ uiView: UIView, context:
UIViewRepresentableContext<Self>) {
isAnimating ? uiView.startAnimating() : uiView.stopAnimating()
configuration(uiView)
}}
Extension:
public extension View where Self == ActivityIndicator {
func configure(_ configuration: @escaping (Self.UIView) -> Void) -> Self {
Self.init(isAnimating: self.isAnimating, configuration: configuration)
}
}
It's really easy with SwiftUI 2.0 I made this simple and easy custom view with ProgressView
Here is how it looks:
Code:
import SwiftUI
struct ActivityIndicatorView: View {
@Binding var isPresented:Bool
var body: some View {
if isPresented{
ZStack{
RoundedRectangle(cornerRadius: 15).fill(CustomColor.gray.opacity(0.1))
ProgressView {
Text("Loading...")
.font(.title2)
}
}.frame(width: 120, height: 120, alignment: .center)
.background(RoundedRectangle(cornerRadius: 25).stroke(CustomColor.gray,lineWidth: 2))
}
}
}
I have modified Matteo Pacini's Answer for macOS using AppKit and SwiftUI. This allows you to use NSProgressIndicator in SwiftUI while retaining capability for macOS 10.15.
import AppKit
import SwiftUI
struct ActivityIndicator: NSViewRepresentable {
@Binding var isAnimating: Bool
let style: NSProgressIndicator.Style
func makeNSView(context: NSViewRepresentableContext<ActivityIndicator>) -> NSProgressIndicator {
let progressIndicator = NSProgressIndicator()
progressIndicator.style = self.style
return progressIndicator
}
func updateNSView(_ nsView: NSProgressIndicator, context: NSViewRepresentableContext<ActivityIndicator>) {
isAnimating ? nsView.startAnimation(nil) : nsView.stopAnimation(nil)
}
}
Usage is as follows:
ActivityIndicator(isAnimating: .constant(true), style: .spinning)
import SwiftUI
struct LoadingPlaceholder: View {
var text = "Loading..."
init(text:String ) {
self.text = text
}
var body: some View {
VStack(content: {
ProgressView(self.text)
})
}
}
