I am having one MapActivity in which first of all I am trying to fetch the current location of the user. For getting the current location I used the AsyncTask concept. Now What I am trying to achieve is to show the ProgressDialog to the user until got the current location.
Here is the Layout code :-
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"

android:layout_height="fill_parent"

MapActivity Code :-
// Background AsyncTask Class
class CurrentPositionTask extends AsyncTask<String, Void, Void> {
boolean flag = true;
@Override
public void onPreExecute() {
// TODO Auto-generated method stub
System.out.println("Executed");
// TODO Auto-generated method stub
dialog = new ProgressDialog(AutoMapActivity.this.getApplicationContext());
dialog.setTitle("");
dialog.setMessage("Searching");
dialog.show();
}
@Override
public Void doInBackground(String... params) {
// TODO Auto-generated method stub
while(flag){
//System.out.println("While Loop");
if (latitude != 0 && longitude != 0) {
flag = false;
break;
}
}
return null;
}
@Override
public void onPostExecute(Void result) {
// TODO Auto-generated method stub
super.onPostExecute(result);
locationManager.removeUpdates(locationListener);
if (latitude!=0 && longitude!=0) {
dialog.cancel();
setInit();
}
}
}
//LocationListner Class
class MyLocationListener implements LocationListener {
public void onLocationChanged(Location location) {
// TODO Auto-generated method stub
if (location != null) {
latitude = location.getLatitude();
longitude = location.getLongitude();
}
}
public void onProviderDisabled(String arg0) {
// TODO Auto-generated method stub
Toast.makeText(getApplicationContext(), "Gps Disabled",
Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
}
public void onProviderEnabled(String arg0) {
// TODO Auto-generated method stub
Toast.makeText(getApplicationContext(), "Gps Enabled",
Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
}
public void onStatusChanged(String provider, int status, Bundle extra) {
// TODO Auto-generated method stub
switch (status) {
case 0:
// OutofService
Toast.makeText(getApplicationContext(), "Out of Service",
Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
break;
case 1:
// Temporarily unavailable
Toast.makeText(getApplicationContext(),
"Location Temporary Unavailable", Toast.LENGTH_LONG)
.show();
break;
case 2:

Toast.makeText(getApplicationContext(), "Available",

break;
}
}

In MapActivity try using AutoMapActivity.this instead of AutoMapActivity.this.getApplicationContext() when creating the dialog?
