How to show loading image while table is filled?

[Former Member]

Hi guys,

I have some tables which are bound to OData. The time (a few seconds) after the data are loaded and before the table is filled, the table shows „no data“. This might confuse the user. I’d like to replace the „no data“ by a loading image. And only tables which really don't have any data, should „no data“. Can anyone help me please?

Thanks!

Hi,

you can use LocalBusyIndicator. Refer SAPUI5 SDK - Demo Kit

Hi Chandra,

can you give me an example, please? The one on demo kit - control is useless for me because the busy indicator is only shown after pressing the button.

I got it. Using following code:

	oModel.attachRequestSent(function(){
	sap.ui.core.BusyIndicator.show(0);
	});

	oModel.attachRequestCompleted(function(){
	sap.ui.core.BusyIndicator.hide();
	});

You can use the following snippet

 var oTable = new sap.ui.table.Table("oDataTable");
    var oImage = new sap.ui.commons.Image();
    oImage.setSrc("http://www.sap.com/global/images/SAPLogo.gif");
  oTable.setNoData(oImage);

Hi Atanu,

thanks for your reply. The problem of using oTable.setNoData(oImage) is that also those tables which don't have any data will show the image.

I think the effect will be visible only with the current table referred by oTable. Did you try the code ?

Hi Atanuk,

I tried your code, but it doesn't work as I wished
