I am implementing progressbar in my android app. In my app i want to display progressbar when images are loading from the web after loading all images the loader should be stopped.
I seen some example of progressbar in that it is displaying for predefined period of time. But i want the progressbar display dynamically depends on the time to load images from the web.
You shoud use an AsyncTask. The Javadoc for it has an example of just what you want to do :
private class DownloadFilesTask extends AsyncTask<URL, Integer, Long> {
protected Long doInBackground(URL... urls) {
int count = urls.length;
long totalSize = 0;
for (int i = 0; i < count; i++) {
totalSize += Downloader.downloadFile(urls[i]);
publishProgress((int) ((i / (float) count) * 100));
}
return totalSize;
}
protected void onProgressUpdate(Integer... progress) {
setProgressPercent(progress[0]);
}
protected void onPostExecute(Long result) {
showDialog("Downloaded " + result + " bytes");
}
}
You just have to implement the setProgressPercent method to set the progress in your progress bar, and hide it on the onPostExecute.
Typically you would do the downloading in an ASyncTask. Overwriting onPreExecute() would allow you to show the progressbar just before the background thread is started and the downloading begins. In the onPostExecute method of your AsyncTask you can hide the progressbar.
You could also have a loading view for each image, and then the user could still scroll while the images where loading and not just after ALL images are loaded and the dialog is removed.

To then have an image load you can use: (changing the package name to your package)
<com.blundell.tut.LoaderImageView
android:id="@+id/loaderImageView"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
image="http://developer.android.com/images/dialog_buttons.png"
/>
Or from code:
final LoaderImageView image = new LoaderImageView(this, "http://developer.android.com/images/dialog_buttons.png");
image.setLayoutParams(new LayoutParams(LayoutParams.WRAP_CONTENT, LayoutParams.WRAP_CONTENT));
