Show Circular Progress Dialog in Login Screen in Flutter, how to implement progress dialog in flutter?

Question

I have a login form with two textfields 'UserName', 'Password' & a button 'Login'. On tap of login button I am calling an API. I want to show a CircularProgressIndicator during this api call. Progress dialog should show in the centre & top of login form. I have tried FutureBuilder but it hides the login form shows CircularProgressIndicator only. I want all content of screen to show behind the CircularProgressIndicator .

Full Code:

import 'package:flutter/material.dart';
import 'package:the_don_flutter/userModel.dart';
import 'package:validate/validate.dart';
import 'package:http/http.dart' as http;
import 'dart:async';
import 'dart:convert';
import 'dart:io';
import 'signup.dart';

class Login extends StatefulWidget{
  @override
  State<Login> createState() {
    // TODO: implement createState
    return LoginFormState();
  }
}

class LoginFormState extends State<Login>{

  final GlobalKey<FormState> formKey = new GlobalKey<FormState>();

  String _passwordValidation(String value){
    if(value.isEmpty){
      return "Field Can't be empty.";
    }else if(value.length < 6)
      return "Password must be of six characters long.";
    return null;
  }

  String _checkValidEmail(String value){
    try{
      Validate.isEmail(value);
    }catch(e){
      return "Email is not valid.";
    }
    return null;
  }

  Future<User> _loginUser() async{
    var response = await http.post("https://example/public/api/login", headers: {}, body: {'username':'poras@techaheadcorp.com', 'password':'123456'})
        .catchError((error) => print("Error $error"));
    print("response of login ${response.body}");
    return User.fromJson(json.decode(response.body));
  }

Answer 1

To show a progressdialog on button click while api is fetching data on login screen.

Try this

Declare this method to show a progress dialog

showLoaderDialog(BuildContext context){
    AlertDialog alert=AlertDialog(
      content: new Row(
        children: [
          CircularProgressIndicator(),
          Container(margin: EdgeInsets.only(left: 7),child:Text("Loading..." )),
        ],),
    );
    showDialog(barrierDismissible: false,
      context:context,
      builder:(BuildContext context){
        return alert;
      },
    );
  }

USAGE

on button click when api is called, call this method like this

onPressed: () {
                showLoaderDialog(context);
                //api here },

and when response is fetched dismiss that dialog like this

Navigator.pop(context);

This demo (with source code) should be very close to what your trying to do

It includes triggering the form validators before and after the async call.

Answer 3

You can try below code snippet for it

class ProgressHUD extends StatelessWidget {

  final Widget child;
  final bool inAsyncCall;
  final double opacity;
  final Color color;
  final Animation<Color> valueColor;

  ProgressHUD({
    Key key,
    @required this.child,
    @required this.inAsyncCall,
    this.opacity = 0.3,
    this.color = Colors.grey,
    this.valueColor,
  }) : super(key: key);

  @override
  Widget build(BuildContext context) {
    List<Widget> widgetList = new List<Widget>();
    widgetList.add(child);
    if (inAsyncCall) {
      final modal = new Stack(
        children: [
          new Opacity(
            opacity: opacity,
            child: ModalBarrier(dismissible: false, color: color),
          ),
          new Center(
            child: new CircularProgressIndicator(
              valueColor: valueColor,
            ),
          ),
        ],
      );
      widgetList.add(modal);
    }
    return Stack(
      children: widgetList,
    );
  }
}

Use it

 body: ProgressHUD(
          child: screen,
          inAsyncCall: _isLoading,
          opacity: 0.0,
        ),

just change the state of _isloading true if you want to display progress.

Answer 4

where ever you want call this function

progressDialogue(BuildContext context) {
  //set up the AlertDialog
  AlertDialog alert=AlertDialog(
    backgroundColor: Colors.transparent,
    elevation: 0,
    content: Container(
      child: Center(
        child: CircularProgressIndicator(),
      ),
    ),
  );
  showDialog(
    //prevent outside touch
    barrierDismissible: false,
    context:context,
    builder: (BuildContext context) {
    //prevent Back button press
      return WillPopScope(
          onWillPop: (){},
          child: alert);
    },
  );
}

**For dismiss call this **

Navigator.pop(context);

In Flutter, use a ProgressIndicator widget. Show the progress programmatically by controlling when it's rendered through a boolean flag. Tell Flutter to update its state before your long-running task starts, and hide it after it ends.

In the example below, the build function is separated into three different functions. If showLoadingDialog() is true (when widgets.length == 0 ), then render the ProgressIndicator . Otherwise, render the ListView with the data returned from a network call.

Full example

import 'dart:convert';

import 'package:flutter/material.dart';
import 'package:http/http.dart' as http;

void main() {
  runApp(SampleApp());
}

class SampleApp extends StatelessWidget {
  @override
  Widget build(BuildContext context) {
    return MaterialApp(
      title: 'Sample App',
      theme: ThemeData(
        primarySwatch: Colors.blue,
      ),
      home: SampleAppPage(),
    );
  }
}

class SampleAppPage extends StatefulWidget {
  SampleAppPage({Key key}) : super(key: key);

  @override
  _SampleAppPageState createState() => _SampleAppPageState();
}

class _SampleAppPageState extends State<SampleAppPage> {
  List widgets = [];

  @override
  void initState() {
    super.initState();
    loadData();
  }

  showLoadingDialog() {
    return widgets.length == 0;
  }

  getBody() {
    if (showLoadingDialog()) {
      return getProgressDialog();
    } else {
      return getListView();
    }
  }

  getProgressDialog() {
    return Center(child: CircularProgressIndicator());
  }

  @override
  Widget build(BuildContext context) {
    return Scaffold(
        appBar: AppBar(
          title: Text("Sample App"),
        ),
        body: getBody());
  }

  ListView getListView() => ListView.builder(
      itemCount: widgets.length,
      itemBuilder: (BuildContext context, int position) {
        return getRow(position);
      });

  Widget getRow(int i) {
    return Padding(
      padding: EdgeInsets.all(10.0),
      child: Text("Row ${widgets[i]["title"]}"),
    );
  }

  loadData() async {
    String dataURL = "https://jsonplaceholder.typicode.com/posts";
    http.Response response = await http.get(dataURL);
    setState(() {
      widgets = jsonDecode(response.body);
    });
  }
}
