Android, Included in Expo Go

Expo UI Progress Indicators match the official Jetpack Compose [Progress Indicator API](https://developer.android.com/develop/ui/compose/components/progress).

## Installation

```sh
# npm
npx expo install @expo/ui

# yarn
yarn expo install @expo/ui

# pnpm
pnpm expo install @expo/ui

# bun
bun expo install @expo/ui
```

If you are installing this in an [existing React Native app](/bare/overview.md), make sure to [install `expo`](/bare/installing-expo-modules.md) in your project.

## Usage

### Linear progress

A horizontal bar that fills to indicate progress. Provide a `progress` value between `0` and `1` for determinate mode.

```tsx LinearExample.tsx
import {
  Host,
  LinearProgressIndicator,
} from '@expo/ui/jetpack-compose';

export default function LinearExample() {
  return (
    <Host matchContents>
      <LinearProgressIndicator progress={0.5} />
    </Host>
  );
}
```

### Circular progress

A spinning circle whose stroke grows to indicate progress.

```tsx CircularExample.tsx
import {
  Host,
  CircularProgressIndicator,
} from '@expo/ui/jetpack-compose';

export default function CircularExample() {
  return (
    <Host matchContents>
      <CircularProgressIndicator progress={0.75} />
    </Host>
  );
}
```

### Indeterminate

Omit the `progress` prop to animate continuously without indicating a specific completion level.

```tsx IndeterminateExample.tsx
import {
  CircularProgressIndicator,
  CircularWavyProgressIndicator,
  Column,
  Host,
  LinearProgressIndicator,
  LinearWavyProgressIndicator,
} from '@expo/ui/jetpack-compose';

export default function IndeterminateExample() {
  return (
    <Host matchContents>
      <Column verticalArrangement={{ spacedBy: 16 }}>
        <LinearProgressIndicator />
        <CircularProgressIndicator />
        <CircularWavyProgressIndicator />
        <LinearWavyProgressIndicator />
      </Column>
    </Host>
  );
}
```

### Custom colors

Use `color` for the indicator and `trackColor` for the background track.

```tsx ColorsExample.tsx
import {
  Host,
  CircularProgressIndicator,
} from '@expo/ui/jetpack-compose';

export default function ColorsExample() {
  return (
    <Host matchContents>
      <CircularProgressIndicator
        progress={0.6}
        color="red"
        trackColor="#cccccc"
      />
    </Host>
  );
}
```

### Wavy variants

`LinearWavyProgressIndicator` and `CircularWavyProgressIndicator` add an expressive wave animation from Material 3 Expressive.

```tsx WavyExample.tsx
import {
  Host,
  LinearWavyProgressIndicator,
  CircularWavyProgressIndicator,
  Column,
} from '@expo/ui/jetpack-compose';

export default function WavyExample() {
  return (
    <Host matchContents>
      <Column verticalArrangement={{ spacedBy: 16 }}>
        <LinearWavyProgressIndicator progress={0.6} />
        <CircularWavyProgressIndicator progress={0.6} />
      </Column>
    </Host>
  );
}
```

### Wave configuration

Use `amplitude` to set the wave height, from `0` for a flat line to `1` for the full height. Use `wavelength` to set the length of a single wave in dp, and `waveSpeed` to set how fast the wave travels in dp per second. `waveSpeed` defaults to `wavelength`. Set `waveSpeed={0}` to render a static wave.

```tsx WaveConfigExample.tsx
import {
  Host,
  LinearWavyProgressIndicator,
} from '@expo/ui/jetpack-compose';

export default function WaveConfigExample() {
  return (
    <Host matchContents>
      <LinearWavyProgressIndicator
        progress={0.6}
        amplitude={0.4}
        wavelength={24}
        waveSpeed={18}
      />
    </Host>
  );
}
```

## API

```tsx
import {
  LinearProgressIndicator,
  CircularProgressIndicator,
  LinearWavyProgressIndicator,
  CircularWavyProgressIndicator,
} from '@expo/ui/jetpack-compose';

## Types

### `DrawStopIndicatorConfig`

Supported platforms: Android.

Configuration for the stop indicator dot at the end of the determinate linear progress track. When provided, draws a stop indicator with the given options. Omit to use the Compose default.

| Property | Type | Description |
| --- | --- | --- |
| color(optional) | [ColorValue](https://reactnative.dev/docs/colors) | Color of the stop indicator. Defaults to the indicator's color. |
| stopSize(optional) | `number` | Size of the stop indicator in dp. Defaults to the Material 3 default. |
| strokeCap(optional) | [StrokeCap](/versions/v58.0.0/sdk/ui/jetpack-compose/progress.md#strokecap) | Stroke cap style for the stop indicator. Defaults to the indicator's strokeCap. |

### `ProgressCommonConfig`

Supported platforms: Android.

Common props shared by all progress indicator variants.

| Property | Type | Description |
| --- | --- | --- |
| color(optional) | [ColorValue](https://reactnative.dev/docs/colors) | Progress indicator color. |
| modifiers(optional) | `ModifierConfig[]` | Modifiers for the component. |
| progress(optional) | `number | null` | The current progress value between `0` and `1`. Omit for indeterminate. |
| trackColor(optional) | [ColorValue](https://reactnative.dev/docs/colors) | Track (background) color. |

### `StrokeCap`

Supported platforms: Android.

Literal type: `string`

Stroke cap style for progress indicators.

Acceptable values are: `'round'` | `'butt'` | `'square'`

### `WavyProgressCommonConfig`

Supported platforms: Android.

Wave configuration shared by the wavy progress indicator variants.

| Property | Type | Description |
| --- | --- | --- |
| amplitude(optional) | `number` | Height of the wave, where `0` draws a flat line and `1` draws the full wave height. When set, the amplitude stays the same across the whole track. When omitted, a determinate indicator uses the Material 3 default, which flattens the wave as progress approaches `0` and `1`. An indeterminate indicator defaults to the full wave height. |
| wavelength(optional) | `number` | Length of a single wave in dp. `CircularWavyProgressIndicator` rounds this to fit a whole number of waves around the ring, so the wave it draws can be slightly shorter or longer. |
| waveSpeed(optional) | `number` | Speed of the wave in dp per second. Defaults to `wavelength`, which advances the wave by one wavelength per second. Set it to `0` to stop the wave from moving. |
