setLoading

Added in 1.0.0
fun setLoading(isLoading: Boolean): SearchTemplate.Builder

Sets whether the template is in a loading state.

If set to true, the UI will display a loading indicator where the list content would be otherwise. The caller is expected to call invalidate and send the new template content to the host once the data is ready. If set to false, the UI shows the contents added via setItemList.

The host will use a default search hint if not set with this method.

This is not the actual search text, and will disappear if user types any value into the search.

If a non empty text is set via setInitialSearchText, the searchHint will not show, unless the user erases the search text.

Throws
java.lang.NullPointerException

if searchHint is null

Added in 1.0.0
fun setShowKeyboardByDefault(showKeyboardByDefault: Boolean): SearchTemplate.Builder
