Progress View

This control is designed to be a drop-in replacement for UIProgressView, with a user experience influenced by Material Design specifications for animation and layout. The API methods are the same as a UIProgressView, with the addition of a few key methods required to achieve the desired animation of the control.

Design & API Documentation

Installation

Requirements

• Xcode 7.0 or higher
• iOS SDK version 7.0 or higher

Installation with CocoaPods

To add this component to your Xcode project using CocoaPods, add the following to your Podfile:

pod 'MaterialComponents/ProgressView'

Then, run the following command:

$ pod install

Differences From UIProgressView

This progress view provides an animation effect when showing and hidding it: it grows up (resp. shrinks down). Additionally, all animated changes APIs take an optional completion block, to synchronize multistep animations.

Usage

Importing

Before using Progress View, you'll need to import it:

Swift

import MaterialComponents.MaterialProgressView

Objective-C

#import "MaterialProgressView.h"

Add the progress view to your view hierarchy like you would with any other view. Note that it works best when the progress view is added at the bottom of a view, as showing (resp. hiding) grows up (resp. shrinks down).

Step 1: Add the progress view to a view

Add the progress view to a view and set the desired progress and hidden state.

Swift

let progressView = MDCProgressView()
progressView.progress = 0

let progressViewHeight = CGFloat(2)
progressView.frame = CGRect(x: 0, y: view.bounds.height - progressViewHeight, width: view.bounds.width, height: progressViewHeight)
view.addSubview(progressView)

Objective-C

@property(nonatomic) MDCProgressView *progressView;
...

// Progress view configuration.
self.progressView = [[MDCProgressView alloc] initWithFrame:myframe];
self.progressView.progress = 0;  // You can also set a greater progress for actions already started.
[self.view addSubview:self.progressView];

Step 2: Change the progress and hidden state

Both the progress and the hidden state can be animated, with a completion block.

Swift

func startAndShowProgressView() {
  progressView.progress = 0
  progressView.setHidden(false, animated: true)
}

func completeAndHideProgressView() {
  progressView.setProgress(1, animated: true) { (finished) in
    self.progressView.setHidden(true, animated: true)
  }
}

Objective-C

- (void)startAndShowProgressView {
  self.progressView.progress = 0;
  [self.progressView setHidden:NO animated:YES completion:nil];
}

- (void)completeAndHideProgressView {
  __weak __typeof__(self) weakSelf = self;
  [self.progressView setProgress:1 animated:YES completion:^(BOOL finished){
    [weakSelf.progressView setHidden:YES animated:YES completion:nil];
  }];
}
