Description

I'm using the InAppBrowser to open a Google/Facebook OAuth login screen. In order for that to work it first opens an URL on my server and then redirects to the proper provider endpoint.
When the internet is slow this results in a pretty lousy user experience as the InAppBrowser doesn't seem to have any loading indicator - which made me think it wasn't working, and then I clicked Done prematurely. I suspect my users will do the same and not try a second time and my app is DOA.

Am I missing anything here by chance?

Any advice on how to get a loading indicator in the least-intrusive way?
