how to get progress bar to display

Question

Its my first time using a progress bar, i have a http request being made. I want an indeterminate progress bar to show when the user clicks the login button and then to disappear when the response is received. Below is what i have already, but the progress bar does not display.

below is the login.xml

        Volley.newRequestQueue(getApplicationContext()).add(postRequest);

    }
}

Answer 1

Try this . Make a custom dialog class which can be reused all over the application

    public class CShowProgress {
       public static CShowProgress cShowProgress;
       public static Context mContext;
       public Dialog mDialog;

       public CShowProgress(Context m_Context) {
           this.mContext = m_Context;
       }

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

       public void showProgress(Context m_Context) {
           mDialog = new Dialog(m_Context);
           mDialog.requestWindowFeature(Window.FEATURE_NO_TITLE);
           mDialog.setContentView(R.layout.custom_progress_layout);                    
           mDialog.findViewById(R.id.progress_bar).setVisibility(View.VISIBLE);
           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">

       <ProgressBar
            android:id="@+id/progress_bar"
            android:layout_width="wrap_content"
            android:layout_height="wrap_content"
            android:layout_gravity="center_horizontal"
            android:indeterminate="true"/>
   </RelativeLayout>

And the Activity

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

and hide by calling

  cShowProgress.hideProgress();

Hope this will help.

在progressBar中尝试android:indeterminateOnly="true"属性

Answer 3

First you need to create a progress_layout_dialog.xml file in /res/layout/ dir

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<RelativeLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
                android:orientation="horizontal"
                android:layout_width="fill_parent"
                android:layout_height="wrap_content"
                style="@style/dialog_style">

    <ProgressBar
            android:id="@+id/progressView"
            android:layout_width="wrap_content"
            android:layout_height="wrap_content"
            android:indeterminate="true"
            android:layout_alignParentLeft="true"
            android:layout_centerVertical="true"/>

    <TextView
            android:id="@+id/title"
            android:layout_width="wrap_content"
            android:layout_height="wrap_content"

            android:text="@string/loading"
            android:textSize="@dimen/sp_17"
            android:textColor="@color/black_light"
            android:textScaleX=".9"

            android:layout_centerVertical="true"
            android:layout_toRightOf="@+id/progressView"
            android:padding="@dimen/dp_10"
            android:layout_margin="@dimen/element_padding_8"/>

</RelativeLayout>

Then create a new dialog for showing the progress layout.

ProgressDialog.java

public final class ProgressDialog {

    protected TextView progressMessage;
    private Dialog dialog;

    public ProgressDialog(Context context, boolean cancelable, String progressText) {
        dialog = UiUtils.generateNewDialog(context, R.layout.progress_layout_dialog);
        dialog.setCancelable(cancelable);
        progressMessage = (TextView) dialog.findViewById(R.id.title);
        progressMessage.setText(progressText);
    }


    public void show() {
        try {
            this.dialog.show();
        } catch (Exception error) {
            error.printStackTrace();
        }
    }


    public void close() {
        this.dialog.dismiss();
    }

    public Dialog getDialog() {
        return this.dialog;
    }

    public TextView getProgressMessageView() {
        return this.progressMessage;
    }

    public void setProgressMessage(String message) {
        progressMessage.setText(message);
    }
}

UiUtils.java

    public class UiUtils {

        public static void fillParent(Dialog dialog) {
            WindowManager.LayoutParams params = dialog.getWindow().getAttributes();
            params.width = WindowManager.LayoutParams.MATCH_PARENT;
            dialog.getWindow().setAttributes(params);
        }

        public static Dialog generateNewDialog(Context activity_context, int layout) {
            final Dialog dialog = new Dialog(activity_context);
            dialog.requestWindowFeature(Window.FEATURE_NO_TITLE);
            dialog.getWindow().setBackgroundDrawable(new ColorDrawable(Color.TRANSPARENT));

            dialog.setContentView(layout);
            fillParent(dialog);
            return dialog;
        }
}

Use the ProgressDialog as

 ProgressDialog progressDialog = new ProgressDialog(activity, false, "Progress loading message...(0%)");
        progressDialog.show();
        progressDialog.setProgressMessage("Progress loading message changed .... (10%)");

You need to provide a value to your progressbar so that it can be updated. Check these sites.
