[android-beginners] Re: Problem with ProgressDialog

[Hermes Pique]

I had the same problem. I don't know if it's the wrong way to do it,
but not using runOnUiThread and calling start on the thread fixed it
for me. I guess that if you run the thread in the UI, the thread is
run inmmediatly, preventing the progess dialog from showing up.

You migth need to use a handler to communicate with the UI thread.

Let me know if that works.

Best,

Hermes.

 Hi, Everyone:

 I'm having some trouble displaying a ProgressDialog. Basically, I want
 to show a progress popup when a user presses a button in my app.
 Here's the code:

 OnClickListener updateButtonPressed = new OnClickListener(){
         // @Override
         public void onClick(View arg0) {

                 //Run this on a new thread
                 runOnUiThread(new Runnable() {

                         @Override
                         public void run() {
                                 // TODO Auto-generated method stub

                                 ProgressDialog pd = null;

                                 pd = ProgressDialog.show(myContext, please 
 wait, updating,
 true, false);

                                 /*
                                  run a bunch of code ...
                                 */

                                 pd.dismiss();

                         }

                 });

         }
     };

 The code runs fine, but the popup never appears. I'm using Eclipse as
 my development environment, and it logs no errors. As far as I can
 tell (and from some google searches), the ProgressDialog should work,
 so I'm stumped. Any ideas?
