How to display progress dialog before starting an activity in Android?
How do you display a progress dialog before starting an activity (i.e., while the activity is loading some data) in Andro开发者_运维百科id?
You should load data in an AsyncTask and update your interface when the data finishes loading.
You could even start a new activity in your AsyncTask's onPostExecute()
method.
More specifically, you will need a new class that extends AsyncTask:
public class MyTask extends AsyncTask<Void, Void, Void> {
public MyTask(ProgressDialog progress) {
this.progress = progress;
}
public void onPreExecute() {
progress.show();
}
public void doInBackground(Void... unused) {
... do your loading here ...
}
public void onPostExecute(Void unused) {
progress.dismiss();
}
}
Then in your activity you would do:
ProgressDialog progress = new ProgressDialog(this);
progress.setMessage("Loading...");
new MyTask(progress).execute();
When you start a long-running process on Android, its always advisable to do it on another thread. You can then use the UI thread to display a progress dialog. You cannot display a progress dialog in the same (UI) thread in which the process is running.
Do the following to start your process
pd = ProgressDialog.show(this, "Synchronizing data", "Please wait...");
Thread t = new Thread(this);
t.start();
For this your activity should implement Runnable as follows
public class SyncDataActivity extends Activity implements Runnable
And finally a method to perform the long-running process
@Override
public void run() {
//your code here
}
