Android :: Progress Dialog With A Second Thread
Sep 26, 2009I've created ProgressDialog with a second thread according to the DevGuide,changes screen orientation or 2) hits the back button twice (first to hide the dialog, second to hide the app) to hide the application and run the app again after a while.Then, onCreate() is called (for the second time), and progress bar stops responding properly. My thread may work for a few minutes and I want to give the user possibility to hide it and do sth else. After a while he might want to run the app again in order to check the progress.I found a few articles concerning this topic, but I couldn't find the exact solution I should chose for this problem. So, could you tell mi what is the proper way to handle this? Should i save the handler and dialog state with "onRetainNonConfigurationInstance()"? If so, how to do it properly and is it safe?

When I would like to insert an progress dialog with a Thread, the System is die with NullPointer Exception in the last row: *public View getView(int position, View convertView, ViewGroup parent) {if(convertView == null) convertView =inflater. inflate (android .R. layout.simpl e_list_item_multiple_choice, parent,false); try {ViewHolder vh = new ViewHolder(); vh.check TextView = (Checked TextView) convertView.findViewById(android.R.id.text1); vh. check TextView. setEnabled (true);* BUT if I don't use the Thread all going to right, there will no NullPointer Exception Can anyone tell me why ? Any solution?

Oct 17, 2010I have recently experimented with creating an easy way to open a ProgressDialog up in a second thread, so if the main thread freezes the dialog will keep working. Here is the class: public class ProgressDialogThread extends Thread
public Looper ThreadLooper;
public Handler mHandler;public ProgressDialog ThreadDialog;
public Context DialogContext;
public String DialogTitle;
public String DialogMessage;
public ProgressDialogThread(Context mContext, String mTitle, String mMessage)
{ DialogContext = mContext;
DialogTitle = mTitle;
DialogMessage = mMessage;
} public void run()
{ Looper.prepare();
ThreadLooper = Looper.myLooper();
ThreadDialog = new ProgressDialog(DialogContext);
ThreadDialog.setTitle(DialogTitle);
ThreadDialog.setMessage(DialogMessage);
ThreadDialog.show();
mHandler = new Handler();
Looper.loop();
} public void Update(final String mTitle, final String mMessage)
{ while(mHandler == null)
synchronized(this) {
try { wait(10); }
catch (InterruptedException e) {
Log.d("Exception(ProgressDialogThread.Update)", e.getMessage() == null ? "MISSING MESSAGE" : e.getMessage());
mHandler.post(new Runnable(){
@Override
public void run() {
ThreadDialog.setTitle(mTitle);
ThreadDialog.setMessage(mMessage);
public void Dismiss()
{ while(ThreadDialog == null || mHandler == null)
synchronized(this) {
try { wait(10); }
catch (InterruptedException e) {
Log.d("Exception(ProgressDialogThread.Dismiss)", e.getMessage() == null ? "MISSING MESSAGE" : e.getMessage());
mHandler.post(new Runnable(){
@Override
public void run() {
ThreadDialog.dismiss();
public void Continue()
{ while(ThreadLooper == null || mHandler == null)
synchronized(this) {
try { wait(10); }
catch (InterruptedException e) {
Log.d("Exception(ProgressDialogThread.Continue)", e.getMessage() == null ? "MISSING MESSAGE" : e.getMessage());
mHandler.post(new Runnable(){
@Override
public void run() {
ThreadLooper.quit();
However it sometimes work perfectly but other times the application simply freezes and crashes eventually.Here is an example of use:ProgressDialogThread thread = new ProgressDialogThread(this, "Loading", "Please wait...");
thread.start();
// Do Stuff
thread.Dismiss();
thread.Continue();It generates a lot of warning and even some crashes sometimes: eg. Handler: Sending message to dead thread.and exceptions like ANR
Android :: Progress Dialog Working In Thread
Jul 27, 2010Trouble is, that ProgressDialog show only after loading run(), but I need to show it on start and showing it while loading some data. I put: "dialog = ProgressDialog.show(CategoriesListActivity.this,"Working...","Loading data", true);" in method run(), but the same. I print in Log.i() some info (int i++) and put title of ProgressDialog. Method work correctly, but don't show ProgressDialog. I have read some info that some thread block another thread (my created), that's why doesn't show progressDialog, but can't do anything.

View 6 Replies View RelatedAndroid :: Displaying Progress Dialog From Open GL Thread
May 9, 2010Does anyone have expirience with opengl-ui-opengl threading interraction? I'am developing a small opengl application. I'am a little bit confused with separate opengl thread. Currently, my application is logically separated in two parts - the controlling one and the rendering one. The controlling part interracts with user - accepting user input, changing activities, dealing with files and so on. The rendering part - just render everything it should. Ok, so when I need to load new texture to opengl (unfortunatelly its large and I cant reduce its size), I'd like to show a ProgerssDialog dialog. Trying to show it from the open gl thread brings me an exception: "Can't create handler inside thread that has not called Looper.prepare()". Because the initiator of loading is in the ui thread (for example - user selected a menu option), I'am opening the dialog, adding the load Runnable to stack on Runnables that will be called in Render.onDrawFrame and passing there a callback that will be executed after texture is loaded.

Jun 5, 2010On my activity, im getting some big data from web, and while getting this data i want to show the user a ProgressDialog with spinning wheel.

Android :: ASync Task Progress Dialog Not Showing Until Background Thread Finishes
Apr 24, 2010I've got an Android activity which grabs an RSS feed from a URL, and uses the SAX parser to stick each item from the XML into an array. This all works fine but, as expected, takes a bit of time, so I want to use AsyncActivity to do it in the background. The line items = parser.getItems() works fine - items being the arraylist containing each item from the XML. The problem I'm facing is that on starting the activity, the ProgressDialog which i create in onPreExecute() isn't displayed until after the doInBackground() method has finished. i.e. I get a black screen, a long pause, then a completely populated list with the items in. Why is this happening? Why isn't the UI drawing, the ProgressDialog showing, the parser getting the items and incrementally adding them to the list, then the ProgressDialog dismissing?

Jul 10, 2009My program does some network activity in a background thread. Before starting, it pops up a progress dialog. The dialog is dismissed on the handler.This all works fine, except when screen orientation changes while the dialog is up (and the background thread is going). At this point the app either crashes, or deadlocks, or gets into a weird stage where the app does not work at all until all the threads have been killed.How can I handle the screen orientation change gracefully?

Android : Handle Messages Between The Main Thread(the Deafult UI Related Thread) And The User Created Gamethread
May 21, 2009I am writing an application in which i need to handle messages between the main thread(the deafult UI related thread) and the user created Gamethread.
The requirement is like this.
An activity(say "Activity_X") is setting the view by "setContentView(some "View_Y")". In "Activity_X" i have implemeted "onCreateOptionsMenu()" and "onOptionsItemSelected()" fucntions for creating menus & a switch case for action to be taken on selecting those menus.Menu has items like "resume/pause/zoom/" .
All action to be take on selecting these menus are implemented in "View_Y" in a separate Gamethread by extending "Thread" class.
So whenever a menu is selected in "Activity_X" i need to send a message to "View_Y". And on receiving this ,a particular action/method should be called in View_Y(GameThread).
How can i achieve this using Handlers?Is there any other way of doing this? Please do share with me some code snippets for these.

Android :: Thread Execution Hiccups On Motorola Droid
Apr 9, 2010Occasionally I see thread execution hiccups on my Motorola Droid (currently running 2.1 but I saw it with 2.0.1, too). Normally my dummy thread (full tilt, foreground, not doing *anything* else) runs in about 5-6mS. However, I see a second hump around 13-14mS and stragglers anywhere out to 80mS (typically around 35mS, though). What is going on? Why is this scheduling so non-deterministically? What is the solution? I could deal with a couple mS slower if it would get rid of those stragglers that exist the whole way out to 50-80mS..................

View 1 Replies View RelatedAndroid :: Droid App Crashes Due To Low Memory / Stop A Thread Before Completion?
Nov 11, 2010My application is basically a image viewer. It is opened from both camera and as a separate application.
I open the image viewer to view and edit the picture. Each edit operation is implemented using thread. If my application closes due to pressing the home button, the next time I open it with camera. It throws anr.
This doesn't always happen. Only when large edit operations or edit operations on large image files are done.
I get out of memory error, sometimes timeout.
I guess it s because the thread doesn't complete the edit operation when home is clicked. and it s still running on the background. so when i open it s unable to process it.
m I right?
If so what is the way to stop a thread before the completion?
