in Xamarin.Forms

Hi Everyone, I'm working on a weather app using Xamarin.Forms where I consume API and populate data in my widget in Xamarin.Android. Everything works fine but I have to show loader on widget when user click on update button in widget.

I was handling this using Visibility but it's not working properly. Is there anyone who can help me on this.

Any kind of help will be appreciated.

    I had to update my widget using below lines.

    (AppWidgetManager.GetInstance(context)).UpdateAppWidget(new ComponentName(context,               
                                   Java.Lang.Class.FromType(typeof(AppWidget)).Name), widgetView);

    Hope it helps.

    @jezh Thanks for your reply! Kindly have a look at below code snippet.

    var widgetView = new RemoteViews(context.PackageName, Resource.Layout.Widget);
widgetView.SetViewVisibility(Resource.Id.loaderLayout, ViewStates.Visible);
    widgetView.SetViewVisibility(Resource.Id.refreshLogo, ViewStates.Gone);

//API Calling and data binding
await SetTextViewText(widgetView, context);

widgetView.SetViewVisibility(Resource.Id.loaderLayout, ViewStates.Gone);
    widgetView.SetViewVisibility(Resource.Id.refreshLogo, ViewStates.Visible);

    Widget is not updating that visibilities....
