Top Flutter Indicators: Loading, Refresh, Progress packages
Last updated: May 18, 2026
Progress indicators inform the user about the status of ongoing processes, such as downloading a file, fetching data, or pulling down to refresh a feed.
Best Practices for Progress Indicators
- Determinate vs. Indeterminate: Use a spinning indeterminate indicator (like
CircularProgressIndicator) when you don't know how long an action will take. Use a determinate progress bar (filling from 0% to 100%) for measurable actions like file downloads. - Pull-to-Refresh: Implement
RefreshIndicatoron all lists that fetch network data. Users natively expect to be able to pull down from the top of a feed to fetch the latest content. - Avoid Overuse: Do not show a full-screen loading spinner for a tiny API request that takes 100ms. It causes a jarring "flash." Only show loading spinners if the request takes longer than 300ms.
The complete list of Loading Spinners, Progress Bars, and Pull-to-Refresh packages is provided below.
