How to disable user interaction while ProgressBar is visible in android?
Your question: How to disable the user interaction while ProgressBar is visible in android?
To disable the user interaction you just need to add the following code
getWindow().setFlags(WindowManager.LayoutParams.FLAG_NOT_TOUCHABLE, WindowManager.LayoutParams.FLAG_NOT_TOUCHABLE);
To get user interaction back you just need to add the following code
getWindow().clearFlags(WindowManager.LayoutParams.FLAG_NOT_TOUCHABLE);
Here is an example:Note:I am giving you just an example to show how to disable or retain user interaction
Add a progress bar in your xml.Something like this
<ProgressBar android:layout_width="wrap_content" android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:id="@+id/progressBar" android:visibility="gone"/>
In MainActivity when a button pressed you show the progressbar and disable the user interaction.
@Overrideprotected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) { super.onCreate(savedInstanceState); setContentView(R.layout.activity_main); mImageView = (ImageView) findViewById(R.id.imageView); mProgressBar = (ProgressBar) findViewById(R.id.progressBar); mImageView.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() { @Override public void onClick(View v) { mProgressBar.setVisibility(View.VISIBLE); getWindow().setFlags(WindowManager.LayoutParams.FLAG_NOT_TOUCHABLE, WindowManager.LayoutParams.FLAG_NOT_TOUCHABLE); } });}
And when user backPressed you remove the progressbar again retain the user interaction.Something like this
@Overridepublic void onBackPressed() { super.onBackPressed(); mProgressBar.setVisibility(View.GONE); getWindow().clearFlags(WindowManager.LayoutParams.FLAG_NOT_TOUCHABLE);}
If you want to add a feature of disable and greyed out display, you need to add in your xml layout file a linear layout that fills the parent. Set its background to #B0000000 and its visibilty
to GONE
. Then programmatically set its visibility
to VISIBLE
.
Hope this help!
I have fixed this issue by adding root layout to the ProgressBar
.
<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android" android:layout_height="match_parent" android:layout_width="match_parent" android:clickable="true" android:gravity="center" android:visibility="gone" android:id="@+id/progress"> <ProgressBar style="?android:attr/progressBarStyleLarge" android:layout_width="wrap_content" android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:layout_centerInParent="true" android:indeterminate="true" android:indeterminateTintMode="src_atop" android:indeterminateTint="@color/primary"/></LinearLayout>
Made the root layout clickable
android:clickable="true"
NOTE: In my main view, I had RelativeLayout
as root and have added above-mentioned code inside the root layout at the last position (last child).
Hope this helps!!
just set:
android:clickable="true"
in your xml
<ProgressBar...
Only this makes magic!
