Question

I have an ProgressDialog where in shows while sending mail. The progress dialog works across activities and classes as one of the blog had given an hint showing ProgressDialog across activities.

Below is the code as I am overriding onCreateDialog()

@Override
protected Dialog onCreateDialog(int id) {

    if(id == ID_SENDING_MAIL){
    ProgressDialog loadingDialog = new ProgressDialog(this);
        loadingDialog.setMessage("Sending Email...");
    loadingDialog.setIndeterminate(true);
    loadingDialog.setCancelable(true);
    return loadingDialog;
}

return super.onCreateDialog(id);
}

then I call the mail sending as below

showDialog(ID_SENDING_MAIL);
new Thread(new Runnable(){
    public void run(){//I am calling Mail Send here 

        dismissDialog(Email.ID_SENDING_MAIL);
    }
}).start();

In run method I instantiate mail class and send host of parameters.
This is working fully but I want to set different messages to ProgressDialog.
Like at the time of connecting to Host

 Sending Mail then
 Mail Sent Successfully

How could we carry out those changes when used with onCreateDialog().
Looking forward to your reply.
thanks.

best way to do this by using AsyncTask:

and in onProgressUpdate(Integer... progress) use progress param to set desired messages to ProgressDialog(using swith of any other method to determine wat the exact message should be)
