I’m using AsyncTask to update a horizontal Progress Dialog. There are no errors. The only thing I can’t figure out is that the ProgressDialog appears only after the background work.
That is, On clicking the button (which in turn does the following:)
//within concerned OnClick Function of my main class:
ASYNC_TEST GH=new ASYNC_TEST(this,"something","something","url", "booga");
String response=GH.execute().get();
the button key remains pressed for a long time (HTTP POSTs are slow), and then suddenly the Progress Dialog appears for no more than a second, completing 100% in one swift go and disappears.
I’m pasting my code:
Below is the class extending AsyncTask which handles a HTTP Post operation and should be updating the progress bar.
import android.app.ProgressDialog;
import android.os.AsyncTask;
import android.content.Context;
import android.util.Log;
public class ASYNC_TEST extends AsyncTask<Void, Integer, String> {
private String result = "";
private int ProgressStatus;
String username, password, THE_URL, YouSure;
private ProgressDialog pdb;
public ASYNC_TEST(Context ConT, String username, String password,String THE_URL, String YouSure)
{
Log.d("LOG_TAG", "Constructor");
this.username = username;
this.password = password;
this.THE_URL = THE_URL;
this.YouSure = YouSure;
pdb = new ProgressDialog(ConT);
}
@Override
protected void onPreExecute()
{
pdb.setCancelable(true);
pdb.setMessage("Logging In. Hold On a Sec...");
pdb.setProgressStyle(ProgressDialog.STYLE_HORIZONTAL);
pdb.setProgress(0);
pdb.setMax(100);
pdb.show();
Log.d("LOG_TAG", "Pre-Execute");
super.onPreExecute();
}
@Override
protected void onPostExecute(String res)
{
Log.d("LOG_TAG", "Post-Execute");
pdb.dismiss();
super.onPostExecute(res);
}
@Override
protected void onProgressUpdate(Integer... progress)
{
Log.d("LOG_TAG", "Progress Update: " + progress[0]);
pdb.setProgress(progress[0]);
super.onProgressUpdate();
}
@Override
protected String doInBackground(Void... smt)
{
Log.d("LOG_TAG", "doInBackground: ");
try {
ProgressStatus = 0;
publishProgress(0);
//Stuff
ProgressStatus = 10;
publishProgress(10);
// More Stuff (HTTP POST)
ProgressStatus = 20;
publishProgress(10);
//....Finally...
ProgressStatus = 100;
publishProgress(100);
catch (Exception e)
{
e.printStackTrace();
}
return "";
}
}

Seems like the delay is due to get() method in
String response=GH.execute().get();. It puts wait on the execution till the AsyncTask is completed.As per Javadoc:
I think you should simply call
GH.execute();to execute your AsyncTask wihtout affecting UI thread by putting it on hold.
