React Native ActivityIndicator Example

In this example, the animating property set the activity indicator to true, and it is visible on the screen. When the component mounts, the animated activity indicator will be closed after six seconds using the closeActivityIndicator() method.
  1. import React, { Component } from 'react'  
  2. import {  
  3.     ActivityIndicator,  
  4.     AppRegistry,  
  5.     StyleSheet,  
  6.     Text,  
  7.     View,  
  8. } from 'react-native'  
  9.   
  10. export default class ActivityIndicatorDemo extends Component {  
  11.     state = { animating: true }  
  12.     closeActivityIndicator = () => setTimeout(() => this.setState({  
  13.         animating: false }), 6000)  
  14.     componentDidMount = () => this.closeActivityIndicator()  
  15.     render() {  
  16.         const animating = this.state.animating  
  17.         return (  
  18.             <View style={[styles.container, styles.horizontal]} >  
  19.                 <ActivityIndicator  animating = {animating} size="large" color="#ff0000" />  
  20.                 <ActivityIndicator size="small" color="#44ff00" />  
  21.                 <ActivityIndicator size="large" color="#rtwrw" />  
  22.             </View>  
  23.         )  
  24.     }  
  25. }  
  26.   
  27. const styles = StyleSheet.create({  
  28.     container: {  
  29.         flex: 1,  
  30.         justifyContent: 'center'  
  31.     },  
  32.     horizontal: {  
  33.         flexDirection: 'row',  
  34.         justifyContent: 'space-around',  
  35.         padding: 10  
  36.     }  
  37. })  
  38.   
  39. AppRegistry.registerComponent('App', () => ActivityIndicatorDemo)  

Output:

Reloading UITableView while Animating Scroll in iOS 11

Reloading UITableView while Animating Scroll Calling  reloadData  on  UITableView  may not be the most efficient way to update your cells, but sometimes it’s easier to ensure the data you are storing is in sync with what your  UITableView  is showing. In iOS 10  reloadData  could be called at any time and it would not affect the scrolling UI of  UITableView . However, in iOS 11 calling  reloadData  while your  UITableView  is animating scrolling causes the  UITableView  to stop its scroll animation and not complete. We noticed this is only true for scroll animations triggered via one of the  UITableView  methods (such as  scrollToRow(at:at:animated:) ) and not for scroll animations caused by user interaction. This can be an issue when server responses trigger a  reloadData  call since they can happen at any moment, possibly when scroll animation is occurring. Example of s...

What are the Alternatives of device UDID in iOS? - iOS7 / iOS 6 / iOS 5 – Get Device Unique Identifier UDID

Get Device Unique Identifier UDID Following code will help you to get the unique-device-identifier known as UDID. No matter what iOS user is using, you can get the UDID of the current iOS device by following code. - ( NSString *)UDID { NSString *uuidString = nil ; // get os version NSUInteger currentOSVersion = [[[[[UIDevice currentDevice ] systemVersion ] componentsSeparatedByString: @" . " ] objectAtIndex: 0 ] integerValue ]; if (currentOSVersion <= 5 ) { if ([[ NSUserDefaults standardUserDefaults ] valueForKey: @" udid " ]) { uuidString = [[ NSUserDefaults standardDefaults ] valueForKey: @" udid " ]; } else { CFUUIDRef uuidRef = CFUUIDCreate ( kCFAllocatorDefault ); uuidString = ( NSString *) CFBridgingRelease ( CFUUIDCreateString ( NULL ,uuidRef)); CFRelease (uuidRef); [[ NSUserDefaults standardUserDefaults ] setObject: uuidString ForKey: @" udid " ]; [[ NSUserDefaults standardUserDefaults ] synchro...

Xcode & Instruments: Measuring Launch time, CPU Usage, Memory Leaks, Energy Impact and Frame Rate

When you’re developing applications for modern mobile devices, it’s vital that you consider the performance footprint that it has on older devices and in less than ideal network conditions. Fortunately Apple provides several powerful tools that enable Engineers to measure, investigate and understand the different performance characteristics of an application running on an iOS device. Recently I spent some time with these tools working to better understand the performance characteristics of an eCommerce application and finding ways that we can optimise the experience for our users. We realised that applications that are increasingly performance intensive, consume excessive amounts of memory, drain battery life and feel uncomfortably slow are less likely to retain users. With the release of iOS 12.0 it’s easier than ever for users to find applications that are consuming the most of their device’s finite amount of resources. Users can now make informed decisions abou...
