I can get a progress bar to appear with the following code
pd = ProgressDialog.show(myActivity.this, "", "Loading. Please wait...", true);
straight forward, but once I have the code execute I want it to go away, but when I run the dismiss method after I never see the dialog box show at all.
Heres the code in context which is wrapped in oncreate
pd = ProgressDialog.show(myActivity.this, "", "Loading. Please wait...", true);
runCode();
setListAdapter(new CustomAdapter(myActivity.this));
pd.dismiss();
I thought you can show/dismiss progress dialog's anywhere in the activity but I must be wrong.
here is the code that I got to work
private class UpdateFeedTask extends AsyncTask<MyActivity, Void, Void> {
private ProgressDialog mDialog;
protected void onPreExecute() {
Log.d(TAG, " pre execute async");
mDialog = ProgressDialog.show(MyActivity.this,"Please wait...", "Retrieving data ...", true);
}
protected void onProgressUpdate(Void... progress) {
Log.d(TAG, " progress async");
}
@Override
protected Void doInBackground(MyActivity... params) {
// TODO Auto-generated method stub
return null;
}
protected void onPostExecute(Void result) {
Log.d(TAG, " post execute async");
mDialog.dismiss();
}
}
refer the sample code sinnpet of mine,hope this may help you
import android.app.Activity;
import android.content.Intent;
import android.os.Bundle;
import android.os.Handler;
import android.os.Message;
import android.util.Log;
import android.view.KeyEvent;
import android.widget.ProgressBar;
public class PlayActivity extends Activity {
/** Called when the activity is first created. */
private ProgressBar mProgress;
private int mProgressStatus = 0;
private int count=0;
private Handler mHandler=new Handler();
@Override
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.main);
mProgress = (ProgressBar) findViewById(R.id.ProgressBar01);
new Thread(myThread).start();
}
private Runnable myThread = new Runnable(){
@Override
public void run() {
// TODO Auto-generated method stub
while (mProgressStatus<=100){
try{
myHandle.sendMessage(myHandle.obtainMessage());
Thread.sleep(1000);
}
catch(Throwable t){
}
}
}
Handler myHandle = new Handler(){
@Override
public void handleMessage(Message msg) {
// TODO Auto-generated method stub
mProgressStatus=mProgressStatus+10;
count=mProgressStatus;
Log.d("mProgressStatus",Integer.toString(count));
mProgress.setProgress(mProgressStatus);
if(count > 80)
{
Log.d("mProgressStatus",Integer.toString(mProgressStatus));
counter.start();
}
}
};
};
}
To remove a progressBar
ProgressBar progressbar = (ProgressBar)findViewById(R.id.progressbarID);
progressBar.setVisibility(View.INVISIBLE) ;
hide the progressbar in xml and show it like
ProgressBar progressbar = (ProgressBar)findViewById(R.id.progressbarID);
progressBar.setVisibility(View.VISIBLE) ;
