In React Native<\/a>, an ActivityIndicator displays a loading circular mark which signals to the user that a task is being performed or a network request is being made.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Using ActivityIndicators in software development is a good practice and provides a good user experience to users of your application, and when you’re working with React Native apps, there’s a way to show such indication.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Let’s Get Started<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The first thing to do is to import ActivityIndicator and other components like View and Text from React Native.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

import React from \"react\";\nimport { ActivityIndicator, StyleSheet, Text, View } from \"react-native\";<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n
Next, call your ActivityIndicator component like so.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
import React from \"react\";\nimport { ActivityIndicator, StyleSheet, Text, View } from \"react-native\";\n\nclass App extends Component {\nrender(){\nrender(\n<View>\n <ActivityIndicator size=\"small\" color=\"#0000ff\" \/>\n<\/View>\n)\n}\n}\n}<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n
The size<\/em><\/strong> property tells whether the indicator should be “small” or  “large”.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The color<\/em><\/strong> property defines the color of the indicator. If you fail to define a specific color, you might get some display on iOS, but you won’t see any rendering for Android.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Positioning ActivityIndicator<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
You can set position of your ActivityIndicator by defining some styles using the style tag.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
import React from \"react\";\nimport { ActivityIndicator, StyleSheet, Text, View } from \"react-native\";\n\nclass App extends Component {\nrender(){\nrender(\n<View>\n <ActivityIndicator size=\"small\" \nstyle={{marginLeft: 0,\n        top: 0,\n        bottom: 0,\n        alignSelf: 'center',\n        right:0,\n        left:0\n}} \n        color=\"#0000ff\" \n\/>\n<\/View>\n)\n}\n}\n}\n\nexport default App<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n
