I believe the right way to fire a ProcessDialog is thru a Handler try the following...
-- create a Handler and processDialog somewhere before doStuff() private final Handler handler = new Handler(); private ProcessDialog processDialog; -- your doStuff method should look like this void doStuff() { fireProcessDialog(); /* do your stuff, typically a network operation */ doSomeNetworkingOperation(); // dismiss the dialog myProgressDialog.dismiss(); } private void fireProgressDialog() { Runnable updater = new Runnable() { public void run() { myProgressDialog = ProgressDialog.show(layout.getContext(),"Please wait...", "Downloading content...", true); } }; handler.post(updater); } On Apr 9, 4:10 am, petunio <juanjosegilmen...@hotmail.com> wrote: > Hi everybody > > I am having a problem displayin a ProgressDialog.
