make background transparent for progressbar

Question

I'm using this library for progress indicator while I do the background work via web service. I want to make the background transparent while the progressbar is showing. Is there any way to make the window transparent programmatically just like it does with progress dialog?

 public class MainActivity extends AppCompatActivity{ private EditText email, pass; private SessionManager session; private SQLiteHandler db; private AVLoadingIndicatorView pb; private static final String LOGIN = "http://ubooktoday.com/android/login"; @Override protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) { super.onCreate(savedInstanceState); setContentView(R.layout.activity_main); email = (EditText)findViewById(R.id.et1); pass = (EditText)findViewById(R.id.et2); session = new SessionManager(getApplicationContext()); db = new SQLiteHandler(getApplicationContext()); pb = new AVLoadingIndicatorView(this); if (session.isLoggedIn()) { startActivity(new Intent(MainActivity.this, ListVActivity.class)); finish(); } } public void login(View view){ if (!email.getText().toString().equals("") && !pass.getText().toString().equals("")) { loginRequest(); }else{ Toast.makeText(getApplicationContext(), "Please enter the details", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show(); } } private void loginRequest() { startAnim(); StringRequest stringRequest = new StringRequest(Request.Method.POST, LOGIN, new Response.Listener<String>() { @Override public void onResponse(String response) { stopAnim(); try { JSONObject jObj = new JSONObject(response); String status = jObj.getString("status"); // Now check status value if (status.equals("0")) { Toast.makeText(getApplicationContext(), jObj.getString("message"), Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show(); } else if (status.equals("1")) { session.setLogin(true); db.addUser(jObj.getString("spa_name"), jObj.getString("user_id")); startActivity(new Intent(MainActivity.this, ListVActivity.class)); finish(); } } catch (JSONException e) { // JSON error e.printStackTrace(); Toast.makeText(getApplicationContext(), "Json error: " + e.getMessage(), Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show(); } } }, new Response.ErrorListener() { @Override public void onErrorResponse(VolleyError error) { Toast.makeText(getApplicationContext(), "VolleyError" + error.toString(), Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show(); } }) { @Override protected Map<String, String> getParams() { Map<String, String> params = new HashMap<String, String>(); params.put("email", email.getText().toString()); params.put("pass", pass.getText().toString()); return params; } }; RequestQueue requestQueue = Volley.newRequestQueue(getApplicationContext()); requestQueue.add(stringRequest); } public void startAnim(){ findViewById(R.id.avloadingIndicatorView).setVisibility(View.VISIBLE); } public void stopAnim(){ findViewById(R.id.avloadingIndicatorView).setVisibility(View.GONE); } }

Try this . Make a custom dialog class

public class CShowProgress {
public static CShowProgress mCShowProgress;
public Dialog mDialog;

public CShowProgress() {
}

public static CShowProgress getInstance() {
    if (mCShowProgress== null) {
        mCShowProgress= new CShowProgress();
    }
    return mCShowProgress;
}

public void showProgress(Context mContext) {
    mDialog= new Dialog(mContext);
    mDialog.requestWindowFeature(Window.FEATURE_NO_TITLE);
    mDialog.setContentView(R.layout.custom_progress_layout);
    mDialog.findViewById(R.id.progress_bar).setVisibility(View.VISIBLE);
    mDialog.getWindow().setBackgroundDrawable(new ColorDrawable(android.graphics.Color.TRANSPARENT));
    mDialog.setCancelable(true);
    mDialog.setCanceledOnTouchOutside(true);
    mDialog.show();
}

public void hideProgress() {
    if (mDialog!= null) {
        mDialog.dismiss();
        mDialog= null;
    }
  }
}

Corresponding XML custom_progress_layout.xml

  <RelativeLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
   android:layout_width="wrap_content"
   android:layout_height="wrap_content"
   xmlns:app="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto"
   android:background="@android:color/transparent"
   android:orientation="vertical">

   <com.wang.avi.AVLoadingIndicatorView
     android:id="@+id/progress_bar"
     app:indicator="SemiCircleSpin"
     app:indicator_color="@android:color/black"
     android:layout_width="50dp"
     android:layout_height="50dp"
     android:visibility="visible" />
 </RelativeLayout>

And the Activity

  CShowProgress cShowProgress = CShowProgress.getInstance();
  cShowProgress.showProgress(Activity.this);

and hide by calling

  cShowProgress.hideProgress();

Hope this will help.

Try this way:

ProgressDialog pd = new ProgressDialog(Login.this,R.style.MyProgressTheme);
pd.setCancelable(false);
pd.setProgressStyle(android.R.style.Widget_ProgressBar_Small);
pd.show();

And create Theme in values\\styles.xml

<style name="MyProgressTheme" parent="android:Theme.Holo.Dialog">
   <item name="android:alertDialogStyle">@style/MyDialogStyle</item>
   <item name="android:windowBackground">@color/transparent</item>
   <item name="android:textColorPrimary">#FFFFFF</item>
   <item name="android:backgroundDimEnabled">false</item>
   <item name="android:textColor">#FFFFFF</item>
   <item name="android:textStyle">normal</item>
   <item name="android:textSize">12sp</item>
</style>

And also add this Theme in values\\styles.xml

<style name="MyDialogStyle">
   <item name="android:bottomBright">@color/transparent</item>
   <item name="android:bottomDark">@color/transparent</item>
   <item name="android:bottomMedium">@color/transparent</item>
   <item name="android:centerBright">@color/transparent</item>
   <item name="android:centerDark">@color/transparent</item>
   <item name="android:centerMedium">@color/transparent</item>
   <item name="android:fullBright">@color/transparent</item>
   <item name="android:fullDark">@color/transparent</item>
   <item name="android:topBright">@color/transparent</item>
   <item name="android:topDark">@color/transparent</item>
</style>

And add values\\colors.xml

<color name="transparent">#00000000</color>

EDIT 1

 <com.wang.avi.AVLoadingIndicatorView
    android:id="@+id/avloadingIndicatorView"
    android:layout_width="wrap_content"  //or your custom size
    android:layout_height="wrap_content"  //or your custom size
    android:visibility="visible"  //visible or gone
    app:indicator="BallPulse"
    app:indicator_color="your color"
    android:background="@android:color/transparent"
    />

this might helps you.
