The easiest way to download a dynamic feature module is through Dynamic Navigator; it’s simple and effective. But there is one problem — you can’t show custom loading because it’s under navigation component control.
There is another way to download dynamic feature modules — using SplitInstallManager
listener. Through this listener, we can show our custom loading while downloading.
Introduction
SplitInstallStateUpdatedListener
is used to download the on-demand module; the plus side of using this listener is that we can get callbacks on state changes like when it started the download, after completion of the download, or in some cases when the download failed.
Now, let’s see some of the callback states from SplitInstallStateUpdatedListener
that play a crucial role, such as:
DOWNLOADING
- On-demand module is currently downloading.REQUIRES_USER_CONFIRMATION
- This may occur when trying to download a significantly large module.INSTALLED
- The requested on-demand module has been installed.
