Loading Indicator

The loading indicator appears at the center of the screen, and it is used to inform the user that app content is currently loading. Where possible, use an appropriate loading label to inform the user on what is loading.

When the user scrolls through a list, the inline loading indicator may appear below the current content to show that additional list content is being loaded.

Processing Indicator

The processing indicator communicates that data is being processed by the system. Processing indicator should be used when the system is analyzing, sending or syncing information based on an action the user has taken. It can be displayed with an optional label.

The progress indicator helps the user understand the status of an action. It provides different visuals for the different states. In this example, user initiates downloading a document. Tapping on the ‘stop’ icon will abandon the loading process. 

Toast Message

The toast message is an indicator that appears briefly in the center of the screen in response to a user action. This type of feedback is intended to show that the user’s action has been processed and completed.
