Rotate image in placeholder

[Hannah R]

Hi,

How can I implement something like infinite progress for EncodedImage placeholder? To my understanding, it should be something like icon.rotate180Degrees(true)?

I am putting Image into ImageViewer, 
Image originImg = URLImage.createToStorage(placeholder, photo_url, AppStrings.PICTURE_HANDLER+photo_url);

And my placeholder is 

EncodedImage placeholder = EncodedImage.createFromImage(Image.createImage(getWidth()/2, getWidth()/2 , 0xFFE6E6), true);

Instead of image with color 0xFFE6E6, I would like to put there rotating icon. I need it in order to show it when the actual Image is loading. How can I achieve this?

Thanks a lot!

Hi,

Animating a placeholder isn't supported and won't work since the image is statically added. We use the animation functionality to replace the placeholder later on so if you add an animation it might not work.

rotation will just rotate an image once which isn't what you want.

You can use InfiniteProgress and just replace it with an image Label when that finished downloading. But for that you would need to download the image manually. E.g. via ConnectionRequest.downloadImageToStorage etc.
