DISTRIBUTION OF TIZEN-BASED WATCH APPS HAS BEEN DISCONTINUED
Indicators visually show that a task is ongoing. If you can determine the amount of time a user waits for a task to complete, we recommend using a progress indicator. If the wait is for an unspecified amount of time, use an activity indicator.
Use indicators to show the progress of tasks such as data loading.
Filling
A progress indicator gradually fills according to the level of progress made.
Spinning
An activity indicator spins until an activity is completed.
Progress indicators
A progress indicator helps users determine how long they will wait by displaying how far a task has progressed. You can show progress with a percentage scale or a fraction indicator. The indicator disappears when the task is completed.
