Question

In my android application I am trying to show a “Loading…” text which will change every 100 ms. After every 100 milliseconds it will increase one dot. So first it will be like “Loading.” and the after another 100 ms it will be “Loading..” When it will be “Loading…” , this process will terminate and again start from the first on words. It will continue till 3500 ms. It will be pretty like progress bar.

I hope I am able to explain the problem.

How to resolve this problem? Please help.

Not the best answer, but it works.

    Handler handler = new Handler();

    for (int i = 100; i <= 3500; i=i+100) {
        handler.postDelayed(new Runnable() {

            @Override
            public void run() {
                if(i%300 == 0){
                    textView.setText("Loading.");
                }else if(i%200 == 0){
                    textView.setText("Loading..");
                }else if(i%100 == 0){
                    textView.setText("Loading...");
                }
            }
        }, i);
    }
