Question

Simply put how can I make a progress dialog show up every time a new link is clicked in my webview. I have tried many tutorials and methods but every one of them only shows the dialog once, when the app is initially loaded.

Here is my code

 mWebView.setWebViewClient(new WebViewClient() {

             @Override
             public boolean shouldOverrideUrlLoading(WebView view, String url)
             {
                 view.loadUrl(url);
                 return true;
             }
            ProgressDialog dialog = ProgressDialog.show(myActivity.this, "", 
                            "Loading. Please wait...", true);
            @Override
            public void onPageFinished(WebView view, String url) {
             dialog.dismiss();
           }

Try this,

 // Let's display the progress in the activity title bar, like the
 // browser app does.
 getWindow().requestFeature(Window.FEATURE_PROGRESS);

 webview.getSettings().setJavaScriptEnabled(true);

 final Activity activity = this;
 webview.setWebChromeClient(new WebChromeClient() {
   public void onProgressChanged(WebView view, int progress) {
     // Activities and WebViews measure progress with different scales.
     // The progress meter will automatically disappear when we reach 100%
     activity.setProgress(progress * 1000);
   }
 });
 webview.setWebViewClient(new WebViewClient() {
   public void onReceivedError(WebView view, int errorCode, String description, String failingUrl) {
     Toast.makeText(activity, "Oh no! " + description, Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
   }
 });

 webview.loadUrl("http://slashdot.org/");

And if you want to make your own progressDialog then

 webView.setWebViewClient(new WebViewClient() {

        @Override
        public boolean shouldOverrideUrlLoading(WebView view, String url)
        {
            // Start PROGRESS DIALOG
            view.loadUrl(url);
            return true;
        }

       @Override
       public void onPageFinished(WebView view, String url) {

        //HIDE PROGRESS DIALOG LOADING IT HAS FINISHED
      }

    });

And let me know what happen..
