T10183: SMS App should display some loading indicator while loading

[Simon Redman]

sredman created this task.
sredman triaged this task as "Normal" priority.
sredman added a project: KDE Connect.

TASK DESCRIPTION
  As soon as the messaging app launches, two long operations happen:
  
  - It sends a request to the phone for the current most-recent list of conversations, which takes some times
  - Once the conversations return, it does an O(n^2) search to match conversations to contacts. This also takes time.
  
  Meanwhile, the GUI is empty and the user is confused. "Where is my data?", he wonders, "Am I ever going to be able to send an SMS?"
  
  The messaging gui should display something while loading. Maybe a spinning "loading" wheel, maybe a loading bar (showing percentage of conversations matched to contacts, for instance), maybe both depending on what stage of loading the app is in.
