Question

Is there a way to listen if a MapView is still loading? Because I want to show a progress indicator (such as an hourglass) while the MapView is downloading the map tiles.

Any solution?

Answer 1

The onDraw documentation for MapView says

“We draw the map background (loading tiles as appropriate)”

You could try extending MapView and hiding progress indicator as onDraw finishes. But my guess would be that the MapTiles are loaded asynchronously so your progress bar would finish before the MapTiles were all loaded.
