Question

Ive looked at some questions and non answer the problem im having..

I have this asyncTask…

  private class LoadData extends AsyncTask<Void, Void, Void>{



    protected Void onPreExecute(Void...arg0){
        super.onPreExecute();

        ProgressDialog dialog = ProgressDialog.show(shoppingClass.this, "", 
                "Loading. Please wait...", true);
        dialog.show();

        return null;

    }
    @Override
    protected Void doInBackground(Void... params) {
        item = we.getText().toString();
        getUserPreference();
        itemLookup.loadUrl(url);
        return null;
    }
    @Override
    protected void onPostExecute(Void notused){
        itemLookup.setVisibility(View.VISIBLE);

    }

}

The problem is the progessDialog is not showing up? I dont know why…Im doing everything write according to the documentation.

Answer 1

You are not overriding correctly the method. Change onPreExecute to this:

@Override
protected void onPreExecute() {
    super.onPreExecute();

     ProgressDialog dialog = ProgressDialog.show(shoppingClass.this, "", 
            "Loading. Please wait...", true);
     dialog.show();
}
