Waiting while app fetches data from web server
Hi all,
What would be the best way to let a user know that my application is currently fetching data from a web server (and hence they need to wait)? I see that Netbeans has both Alert and WaitScreen. Which is more suitable?
Lastly, how can I make this screen disappear automatically once the data has been successfully retrieved?
Many thanks.
Re: Waiting while app fetches data from web server
A "Please wait screen" is more ideal. We already have multiple discussions on how to implement this.
