How to dim/show working? - powlo - 2013-05-07
Hi,
In my addon users enter data which will be used in url page fetches. I want to give the user some feedback to indicate that something is being done during this fetch time. Ie dim the screen and/or show a working spin icon.
How do I do this?

This is all I found:

It would be nice to freeze the UI for a moment while some background tasks are performed?
To turn it on -
Code:xbmc.executebuiltin( "ActivateWindow(busydialog)" )
To turn it off -
Code:xbmc.executebuiltin( "Dialog.Close(busydialog)" )
But I'm not even convinced this is still valid. See here: https://github.com/xbmc/xbmc/pull/1262
Can't check at the moment.

I think that pr just removed the ability to set a delay, which you wouldn't need anyway. That should still work

Just checked. Yes it does. Perfect!
