Splash Screen Loaders

[breautek]

It's been awhile since I've posted an update. My New Years has unfortunately been quite hectic, but here we are!

Because Fuse takes a pretty unique approach using an embedded HTTP server, it can be a little hefty to launch. In part because every app launch requires generating SSL keypairs.

On top of that, webviews are expensive to create, it's inevitable that there will be a period of time where there is no webview content to show in between native application loading and when the actual webview application is ready to be shown.

Therefore Fuse is integrating a standardized loading progress system.

Please excuse the poor graphics, work in progress!

There are plans on making the splashscreen view extendable by allowing applications to implement their own view, as long as they conform to a loading interface, which is simply to update a progress bar of some sort.

The renders shown above is definitely not final, there are plans to improve the default loading screen as well, but it is a lower priority task.

This feature also brings in a breaking change in that the web application must tell Fuse when the application itself is "ready" by calling on context.onWebviewReady();.
