Question

I want to create such a dialog to show progress bar like I have attached. I want to show some sequence of pictures while some work is doing in background and progress bar is showing to the user. How can I make such a activity/dialog? Can anyone advice me something?

Answer 1

Utilize the ProgressBar ui element.

http://developer.android.com/reference/android/widget/ProgressBar.html

Your layout would look something like below.

<LinearLayout
     android:orientation="horizontal"
     ... >
     <ImageView
         android:layout_width="wrap_content"
         android:layout_height="wrap_content"
         ..... />
     <ProgressBar
         android:layout_width="wrap_content"
         android:layout_height="wrap_content"
         style="@android:style/Widget.ProgressBar.Horizontal"
         android:layout_marginRight="5dp" />
 </LinearLayout>

Then in your activity, while your updating the progress bar in the “onProgressUpdate” of an AsyncTask you can also switch out the image in the imageView, on some kind of interval.
