Missing loading indicator and dismiss icon

[rigaldamez]

There is no loading indicator while the image is being loaded so the user simply sees a black screen.

Also, there is no visible dismiss/close icon to dismiss the view, I understand that you can drag-down to dismiss but that is simply not intuitive enough.

Is there a way to enable a loading indicator and dismiss icon?

Hi @rigaldamez,

The dismiss button should be added now https://github.com/3lvis/Viewer/releases/tag/4.1.0

I'm looking into the missing loading indicator

I see you have mentioned the loading indicator, I only have it for videos because for images you are supposed to give a placeholder while the big image loads. If you would like support for showing the loading indicator while the image loads we could discuss it, it just something I haven't found the need yet.

Thanks for adding the dismiss icon - excellent work!

A loading indicator is a standard UI element to depict that something is being loaded (regardless of the content), having a still placeholder image tells the user that the picture wasn't loaded but here is a placeholder image in leu of the expected content. So I would say that the need to communicate with the user about the content being loaded is need through a loading indicator also.
