I am with you that the loading indicator is never displayed when using a ListDataProvider. Using GWT 2.5, I tried all the methods mentioned in this thread, and none of them worked. So I came up with the following hack, which essentially temporarily hijacks the empty table widget for use as a loading indicator...
// I call this method just prior to starting to async reload my data and update my ListDataProvider public void showLoadingIndicator() { this.emptyTableWidget = getEmptyTableWidget(); setEmptyTableWidget(getLoadingIndicator()); this.listDataProvider.getList().clear(); this.listDataProvider.flush(); } // I call this method after my I've updated the data in my ListDataProvider public void hideLoadingIndicator() { setEmptyTableWidget(this.emptyTableWidget); } --Ian -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Google Web Toolkit" group.
