How to show progress dialog in Android?
ProgressDialog pd = new ProgressDialog(yourActivity.this);pd.setMessage("loading");pd.show();
And that's all you need.
You better try with AsyncTask
Sample code -
private class YourAsyncTask extends AsyncTask<Void, Void, Void> { private ProgressDialog dialog; public YourAsyncTask(MyMainActivity activity) { dialog = new ProgressDialog(activity); } @Override protected void onPreExecute() { dialog.setMessage("Doing something, please wait."); dialog.show(); } @Override protected Void doInBackground(Void... args) { // do background work here return null; } @Override protected void onPostExecute(Void result) { // do UI work here if (dialog.isShowing()) { dialog.dismiss(); } }}
Use the above code in your Login Button Activity. And, do the stuff in doInBackground
and onPostExecute
Update:
ProgressDialog
is integrated with AsyncTask
as you said your task takes time for processing.
Update:
ProgressDialog
class was deprecated as of API 26
To use ProgressDialog
use the below code
ProgressDialog progressdialog = new ProgressDialog(getApplicationContext());progressdialog.setMessage("Please Wait....");
To start the ProgressDialog
use
progressdialog.show();
progressdialog.setCancelable(false);
is used so that ProgressDialog
cannot be cancelled until the work is done.
To stop the ProgressDialog
use this code (when your work is finished):
progressdialog.dismiss();`
