How do i make ProgressDialog that will show while my method doing a bit while job? I know there's a lot related question to this but i don't understand the answers. A separate thread is a good approach or not? My method is downloading some datas from the Internet
Please provide me a quite detailed answer of how do i make this. A separate class will be great
Any answer and comment will be appriciated
Hey try the following code it may helpful :
@Override
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.main);
new TheTask().execute();
}
private class TheTask extends AsyncTask<Void, Void, Void>{
@Override
protected void onPreExecute()
{
super.onPreExecute();
pDialog = new ProgressDialog(YOUR_ACTIVITY_CLASS_NAME.this);
pDialog.setMessage("Please Wait");
pDialog.setIndeterminate(false);
pDialog.setCancelable(false);
pDialog.show();
}
@Override
protected Void doInBackground(Void... params) {
authenticate(); // method that calls the API via SOAP
authenticateReal(); // method that handles the response
return null;
}
@Override
protected void onPostExecute(String str)
{
// Dismiss the dialog once finished
pDialog.dismiss();
}
}
Define pDialog before you call it:
ProgresDialog pDialog;
