Set the progress dialog in base adapter

Question

This is my list view adapter in which I am sending listview data to server ans sqlite on the button clock asyn task. I want to use a progress dialog but I'm having problem while passing the activity's instance and my code crashes on the progress dialog.

   public class PlannningListViewAdapter extends BaseAdapter{

   Context context;
   public ArrayList<Planning> planArraylist;
   private static LayoutInflater inflater = null;
   public PlanningList_activity planActivity;
   public ListView mListview;
   Db_sqlite databaseHelper;
   Calendar calObj = Calendar.getInstance();
   DateFormat cdf = new SimpleDateFormat("MM-dd-yyyy hh:mm:ss a");
   String currentDate = cdf.format(calObj.getTime()).toString();

  public PlannningListViewAdapter(Context context,ArrayList<Planning>   planArraylist) {
     this.context = context;
     this.planArraylist = planArraylist;
     inflater = (LayoutInflater) context.getSystemService(Context.LAYOUT_INFLATER_SERVICE);
     databaseHelper = new Db_sqlite(context);

}
@Override
public int getCount() {
    return planArraylist.size();
}
@Override
 public Planning getItem(int arg0) {
    return planArraylist.get(arg0);
} 

@Override
public long getItemId(int arg0) {
    return arg0;
}
 @Override
    public View getView(int position, View convertView, ViewGroup parent) {
           ViewHolder holder;

        if (convertView == null) {
            convertView = inflater.inflate(R.layout.single_lv_item, parent, false);
  holder = new ViewHolder();

            holder.tvdrCode =(TextView)onvertView.findViewById(R.id.Plan_no);
            holder.tvDrName = (TextView) convertView.findViewById(R.id.doc_name);

I cannot figure out the problem. Sorry for so much code, thanks in advance. Log cat error

Answer 1

Look at this line.

new SaveDCR().execute(dvr);

here is your problem. Instead of passing context you passing nothing to Constuctor.

change it to

new SaveDCR(context).execute(dvr);

Answer 2

The problem is probably with way how to get context. Please change

 new PlannningListViewAdapter(getApplicationContext(),list);

to :

 new PlannningListViewAdapter(this,list);

in your Activity

Answer 3

In your preExecute method instead:

progressDialog = new ProgressDialog(mcontext);

Write this:

progressDialog = new ProgressDialog(context);

Answer 4

Please pass the context

new SaveDCR(context).execute(dvr);
