B4J Question [B4XLoadingIndicator] Not Showing Up When .Show

[B4XDev]

I have a button that triggers a relatively long-running Sub, so I attempt to show a B4XLoadingIndicator when the button is clicked.

The indicator never shows up. I try putting a Sleep(0) or Sleep(50) after it, but that does not help. Do I need a longer Sleep() duration or a different approach?

Here's the button click Sub:

Private Sub btn_Refresh_Click
    pbar_PleaseWait.Show
    Log("Emptying B4XTable")
    tbl_Codes.SetData(Array())
    tbl_Codes.UpdateTableCounters
'    tbl_Codes.ClearDataView
'    TableSelections.Clear
    Log("Building SQLite Database from legacy files")
    Log("Cleaning 2022 data")
    Clean2022FromDatabase
    Log("Converting legacy text files")
    ConvertLegacyCodesToSQliteDB
    Log("Loading new SQLite database")
    LoadCacheFromSqlite
    Log("Populating B4XTable")
    wait for (tbl_Codes.SetData(keysList)) complete (res As Object)
    Log("Refreshing B4XTable")
    tbl_Codes.RefreshNow
    TableSelections.Refresh
    Log("Done!")
    pbar_PleaseWait.Hide
End Sub

Because the codes are executed quickly and reach the last line
Add sleep(2000) and test again

Unfortunately, that didn't help.

I noticed if I have the indicator on when the app starts, that whenever that Sub is called (btn_Refresh), the indicator stops animating, even though the app continues to do what it does.

Once the app is done processing that Sub, the indicator starts up again.

How do I put the indicator on its own thread, maybe?

There is no such thing.

Please try to reproduce it in a small program and upload it.
