Question

App I’m building is carrying out a task, ProgressDialog is on the screen circling ’round and ’round.

How can I provide the user the ability to break out of that Dialog at any given time, immediately disappear the Dialog and stop the task from being carried out mid run?

Answer 1

Try this ,if it is an AsynkTask:

dialog = ProgressDialog.show(
                        Activity.this,
                        "",
                        "Loading the results...Please wait.",
                        true,
                        true,
                        new DialogInterface.OnCancelListener(){
                            @Override
                            public void onCancel(DialogInterface dialog) {
                                *YourTask*.this.cancel(true); 
                            }
                        }
                );
