I have some code in my program that processes some stuff, and takes a few seconds. So I thought logically I can place my dialog show at the beginning before processing begins, and cancel it at the end. What ACTUALLY seems to be happening is my dialog shows after the processing is done... Some demo code to show what I mean with a simple sleep:

View 4 Replies View RelatedI try to show a ProgressDialog at the beginning of my application from an Activity. I debug the application and in theory the dialog is created because it prints a line from onCreateDialog... method.
For more test, I try to show a toast with:
Toast.makeText(MyActivity.this, "test", Toast.LENGTH_LONG);
And nothing is showed.
If is useful, the application is a widget.
I'm starting a ProgressDialog using:
ProgressDialog.show(Example.this, " " , " Loading. Please wait ... ", true,true);
Then running a block of code to download and parse XML.
The problem I'm having is that this is all running under a onClick button method, and that the xml is downloaded and parsed before the dialog is shown.
I'm trying to create a ProgressDialog for an Android-App (just a simple one showing the user that stuff is happening, no buttons or anything) but I can't get it right. I've been through forums and tutorials as well as the Sample-Code that comes with the SDK, but to no avail.
This is what I got:
CODE:..........
I've also tried adding pd.show(); and messed around with the parameter in new ProgressDialog resulting in nothing at all (except errors that the chosen parameter won't work), meaning: the ProgressDialog won't ever show up. The app just keeps running as if I never added the dialog.
I have a listview of items (songs on the sd card). The user has an option to load all the songs on the sd card to into a current playlist -- those songs are what is displayed in the listview. Because this can take few seconds to load if they have a lot of songs on the card, I want to display a progress dialog to just tell the user "One moment..." until the list refresh is done.
I launch a thread to do this. I've done this successfully on another app I have (which just updates a database in the background but doesn't update any display), but this one fails with this error message, "Can't create handler inside thread that has not called Looper.prepare()". I chopped down the activity and pasted it below. What am I doing wrong here? I have just a vague idea of what might be happening.
By the way, everything works when I take out the threaded stuff, it just looks like the app freezes for a couple seconds.

When i first launch my main intent, i check if the application was updated and, if yes, i decompress some asset files. This task can take up to 15 seconds (to decompress a 6MB zip file).
So, i was trying to show a ProgressDialog to the user. However, nothing in hell makes the dialog appear.
The lengthy method is called from onCreate. I already tried to put it in onStart, but same thing. I also tried to run it in the ui thread, same thing: no dialog appears, even if "isShowing" returns true.
This is the code:.......................
What is wrong with this code:-
CODE..................
I'm writing an Activity which fetches some XML from the web via HTTP and then parses it into a DOM. It then pulls some required data from the DOM.
As you can imagine, this takes a few moments, so I put that code into it's own thread and then tried to set up a ProgressDialog to display while the user is waiting for that to complete.
The problem is that the ProgressDialog doesn't display at all. If I remove the call to dismiss() then it displays after the work is done and, obviously, just sits there...
Here is my code:..................
The constructor of the FighterVersesDownloader is where all the work in terms of HTTP and DOM is done.
Any ideas on what I'm missing? I've seen a few similar threads on this using AsyncTask, but I wanted to use good old fashioned Threads directly and the solutions suggested don't apply.
I can't seem to grasp why this is happening.
This code:...................

Im trying to show a ProgressDialog while the activity is loading. my problem is that although i completed all the work in the activity. it takes a long time for the activity to load, i suspect this is because i use
multiple views with multiple listviews with custom array adapters inside a viewflipper. it takes a long time for the UI to show.how would i go about checking that all the UI inside the activity finished loading? or is there a way to preload all the activity and the UI?
I am developing my first Android App and I need a ProgressDialog to be showed while a background task, in this case just a http call on the server, happens.
I did a bit of studying on this and also have already checked other threads related to this subject.
http://developer.android.com/reference/android/os/AsyncTask.html

Among others.
Than I got to write a bit of code:
1) In My Activity I declare a variable to be of type ProgressDialog
code:............
2) I have also written an inner class to extend AsyncTask as required, here in the doInBackGround is where I call a static method which actually do the POST http request to the server, in the server side I have blocked the server response 20s to validate the progress dialog.
code:............
3) When the button is pressed I than build the ProgressDialog anc call the AsyncTask I have created:
code:...................
Well, this is it, I believe this was suppose to show a progress dialog while the AsyncTask would query the server in background, but what I get is NO progress bar until server response arrives and than for a fraction of time(less than 1 second) the progress shows and the next Activity is called.
I know that this is common problem, but still I cannot find the answer. I have two classes: InternetConnection extends Activity ConnectionChangeReceiver extends BroadcastReceiver
From ConnectionChangeReceiver I'm calling InternetConnection method which is refreshing UI when Internet connection is changed. The problem is that during refresh operation I'd like to show ProgressDialog which actually is never visible !!
So broadcast class looks like: public class ConnectionChangeReceiver extends BroadcastReceiver. Code...
ProgressDialog during location tasks either won't show or force closes - I have tried everything!
I now have it in a Handler with a full 1 second delay (one method another post suggested) but it doesn't show. I simply am stuck. Threads are usually force closing when I use those methods.
I have code in my activity's onCreate that sets an onItemClick listener. when it fires I try to show a ProgressDialog that will be up until a subsequent thread "Thread" does it's processing. Strangely to me, the progress dialog never shows until *after* the thread.run() processing is complete. Almost like it's blocking. Am I doing something wrong? this is true even if the run method of doCurrentLocation doesn't do anything.

My device HTC desire doesnt show SMS sender name upon recieving sms(local sms), instead showing the sender number.I am having this sender in my contact list. There is no issues while recieving international SMS, only having problem with local sms. But when the same person calls me, its displaying the caller name correctly.
What would be the reason?
I am in QATAR where country code is +974.
I tried the following.Contacts saved with the country code(+974)
- then its showing the name when sms is recieved, but call recieving
stopped showing caller name - only number is shown.
One thing i noticed is, while recieving SMS, the sender number is preceeded by country code(+974) while recieving a call only caller number is there.
Its working when u click it but doest show that i downloaded it. no way to unistall.

View 3 Replies View RelatedI am running into an issue with the way my asynctasks are executed. Here's the problem code:
firstTask = new background().new FirstTask(context);
if(firstTask.execute().get().toString().equals("1"))
secondTask = new background().new SecondTask(context);
What I'm doing here is creating a new asynctask object, assigning it to firstTask and then executing it. I then want to fire off a separate asynctask when the first one is done and making sure it returns a success value (1 in this case). This works perfectly on Android 2.0 and up. However, I am testing with Android 1.5 and problems start popping up. The code above will run the first asynctask but doInBackground() is never called despite onPreExecute() being called. If I am to execute the first task without the get() method, doInBackground() is called and everything works as expected. Except now I do not have a way to determine if the first task completed successfully so that I can tell the second task to execute. Is it safe to assume that this is a bug with asynctask on Android 1.5? Especially since the API says that the get method has been implemented since API 3. Is there any way to fix this? Or another way to determine that the first task has finished?
I just tried to implement a progressdialog and I have some issues to change the text during my long and complex calculations.

I can clearly see the incrementProgressBy working and my dialog updating, but the message does not change.
Any idea on how to make that work?
I have a context menu option that, when clicked, will load some information from the web and insert it into a database.So this is a lengthy process and I would like to display a progressdialog over the top of the context menu when this option is selected.I've got the progressdialog running now, but it won't show up.It's almost like the context menu is covering it.So is there a way that I could get the progressdialog to show up on top of the context menu and be visible to the user.
