How to Disable Interaction When CircularProgressIndicator is Active in Android Jetpack Compose

When developing Android applications using Jetpack Compose, creating a seamless user experience is crucial. One common scenario involves displaying a CircularProgressIndicator while loading data or performing a task. However, this raises an important question: How can we disable background interactions while the progress indicator is active?

In this guide, we will explore the problem of user interaction during loading states and provide an effective solution that ensures users can't interact with other parts of the screen when a task is ongoing.

Understanding the Need for Disabling Interaction

Disabling interactions during loading is essential for several reasons:

User Clarity: It provides a clear indication to users that a task is in progress.

Prevention of Errors: Users clicking on buttons or other UI elements can lead to unintended errors or confusion.

Improved Experience: A smooth and predictable interface enhances overall user experience.

By effectively managing user interactions with the UI, developers can avoid mishaps and keep users informed about ongoing processes.

The Solution

To disable background interaction when the CircularProgressIndicator is displayed, follow these steps:

Step 1: Create a Box with Clickable Modifier

You will utilize a Box that holds the CircularProgressIndicator. This Box will cover the entire screen, making it impossible for users to interact with any other content while it's displayed.

Step 2: Implement the Code

Below is a code snippet demonstrating this implementation:

Breakdown of the Code

Condition Check (if (anyState)): This checks if the loading state is active. If true, it proceeds to render the Box.

Box Modifier:

Modifier.fillMaxSize(): Ensures that the box covers the entire screen.

Modifier.clickable(...): Converts the box into a clickable area.

indication = null: Disables the ripple effect that usually appears on clicks.

interactionSource: Uses a MutableInteractionSource to manage interactions without triggering any actions.

Content Alignment: The contentAlignment = Alignment.Center aligns the CircularProgressIndicator to the center of the screen.

This simple but effective solution allows for a focused experience, preventing distractions while your application completes its task.

Conclusion

Incorporating a CircularProgressIndicator in your Jetpack Compose application can greatly enhance user experience during loading states. By implementing the aforementioned solution to disable background interactions, you can ensure that users remain informed and focused while maintaining the integrity of your app's functionality.
