LinkedIn-style Loading Indicator for KivyMD

[Yassine Ouchen]

Hi everyone,

I was trying to mimic the LinkedIn loading animation and ended up writing a custom KivyMD widget. LoadingProgressIndicator displays an animated loading indicator that moves from left to right and back, with dynamic width changes at the edges. The animation consists of several stages: moving, shrinking, and growing. The widget integrates with KivyMD's theming system, can be extensively customized and works great while loading data in the background. 

Feel free to try it out.  I’d love to hear your feedback and suggestions!

Cheers,

Looks great!  Thanks for sharing.

i missed the initial post sorry, the more "kivy native" widgets are, the better coverage for applications (i.e. require only kivy not kivymd) :-)

Salut bureau comi,

Merci beaucoup ! Oui, c’est très facile de convertir une application Kivy ou KivyMD en APK Android.
On peut le faire très simplement en utilisant GitHub Actions.

Je te recommande vivement ce tutoriel vidéo :
👉 https://youtu.be/wbJxJ2Zjy_o?si=bY0SbNsVGs7p2rm4

N'oublie pas aussi de consulter mon commentaire épinglé sous la vidéo — il contient des mises à jour importantes pour le fichier buildozer.spec et le fichier build.yml.

Bonne chance pour la compilation ! N'hésite pas si tu as des questions.

Bien à toi,

Hi Tomek CEDRO,

Thanks a lot! I completely agree — keeping widgets as "Kivy-native" as possible definitely improves compatibility and usability.

The widget I created is fully built using Kivy widgets. The only part that currently uses KivyMD is the ThemableBehavior mixin, which I used just to access theme_cls for coloring the track and the indicator. That said, it's entirely optional — We can remove the inheritance from ThemableBehavior and replace the themed colors with default RGBA values to eliminate the KivyMD dependency altogether.

Thanks again for the feedback.
