WL client API


For the native app developed using web technologies or hybrid technologies, we refer to some classes and functions that extend components such as WL.BusyIndicator, WL.Logger, and WL.SimpleDialog with the native look and feel, which is specified with respect to mobile platforms.

To enable these native components, Worklight provides some extensive libraries to implement. We will cover some WL client-side APIs to provide you with a holistic view of implementation at the development side.

WL.BusyIndicator

The WL.BusyIndicator WL extension provides a busy indicator for a mobile application. It's a modal representation of an object named WL.BusyIndicator. It provides a dynamic graphical interface for an application that is temporarily on hold for any process or seems busy. It appears natively on Android, iOS, Blackberry, and Windows phones. For every mobile environment, its implementation occurs by using JavaScript in the Busy.js file. There are some optional parameters as well.
