Question

I want to show the ProgressDialog when user clicks the gridview in the Fragment. ProgressDialog must show till the next activity loads. I have Google many times and in SO also, but can’t solution exact like my problem. Till my work is,

My Fragment class:

@TargetApi(11)
public void onActivityCreated(Bundle savedInstanceState)
{
    super.onActivityCreated(savedInstanceState);
    gridView.setAdapter(new ImageAdapterTwo(Constant.getContext(),countries1));
    gridView.setOnItemClickListener(new OnItemClickListener() {
    public void onItemClick(AdapterView<?> parent, View v,
            int position, long id) {
        System.out.print("gridView.getId();=="+gridView.getId()) ;
        if(v==null)
        {
            System.out.print("gridView.getId();=="+gridView.getId()) ;
        }
        else
        {
            TextView t=(TextView) v.findViewById(R.id.grid_item_text);
            if(t==null)
            {
                System.out.print("gridView.getId();==") ;
            }
            else
            {
                if(t.getText()=="")
                {
                    new Task().execute();
                }
                else if(t.getText()=="")
                {
                    Intent i2 = new Intent(Constant.getContext(), ServerBackup.class);  
                    startActivity(i2);
                }
                else if(t.getText()=="")
                {
                    Intent i2 = new Intent(Constant.getContext(), ServerBackup.class);  
                    startActivity(i2);
                }
                else
                {
                    Intent i2 = new Intent(Constant.getContext(), ViewPagerFragmentActivity.class);  
                    startActivity(i2);
                }
            }
        }
    }
});
}

Task.java:

package com.net.elderlyhealth.weather;

import android.content.Context;
import android.content.Intent;
import android.os.AsyncTask;
import android.util.Log;

import com.net.elderlyhealth.weather.AsyncClass;


public class Task extends AsyncTask<Void, Void, String>
{
    Context context;
    AsyncClass asyncclass=new AsyncClass();
    //context=Constant.getContext();
    public Task(Context context)
    {
        //this.context=context;
        //Log.d("context",context.toString());
    }
    @Override
    protected void onPreExecute()
    {
        asyncclass.showLoadingProgressDialog();
    }

    @Override
    protected String doInBackground(Void... params)
    {
        Intent intent=new Intent(context,ActivityWeatherSetting.class);
        context.startActivity(intent);
        return null;
    }

    @Override
    protected void onPostExecute(String params)
    {
        asyncclass.dismissProgressDialog();
    }
}

AsyncClass.java:

import android.app.Activity;
import android.app.ProgressDialog;

public class AsyncClass extends Activity
{
    protected static final String TAG = AsyncClass.class.getSimpleName();

public ProgressDialog progressDialog;

private boolean destroyed = false;

@Override
protected void onDestroy()
{
    super.onDestroy();
    destroyed = true;
    /*if ( progressDialog!=null && progressDialog.isShowing() ){
        progressDialog.cancel();
    }*/
}

public void showLoadingProgressDialog()
{
    this.showProgressDialog("Loading. Please wait...");
}

public void showProgressDialog(CharSequence message)
{
    if (progressDialog == null)
    {
        progressDialog = new ProgressDialog(this);
        progressDialog.setIndeterminate(true);
    }

    progressDialog.setMessage(message);
    progressDialog.show();
}

public void dismissProgressDialog()
{
    if (progressDialog != null && !destroyed)
    {
        progressDialog.dismiss();
    }
}
}

Where i am going wrong?

Answer 1

Modified code for async task

import android.content.Context;
import android.content.Intent;
import android.os.AsyncTask;
import android.util.Log;

import com.net.elderlyhealth.weather.AsyncClass;


public class Task extends AsyncTask<Void, Void, String>
{
Activity currentActivity;
ProgressDialog dialog;
public Task(Activity activity)
{
currentActivity = activity;
}

@Override
protected void onPreExecute()
{
dialog=ProgressDialog.show(currentActivity, "Title", "Msg");
}

@Override
protected String doInBackground(Void... params)
{
//do your work
}

@Override
protected void onPostExecute(String params)
{
dialog.dismiss();
}
}

Calling the async task

new Task(getActivity()).execute()

This should solve your problem.
Keep in mind you cannot just instantiate a class which extends activity and expect it to perform UI operation.
