Show a progress dialog in android tab layout?

Well each tab is an activity... I suppose that what is taking time is in the settings activity Put this in the setting activity: public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) { super. OnCreate(savedInstanceState); final ProgressDialog dialog = ProgressDialog. Show(getParent(), "Please wait..", "Doing stuff..", true); dialog.

SetCancelable(false); dialog.show(); Runnable myRun = new Runnable(){ public void run(){ Looper.myLooper().prepare(); //DO EVERYTHING YOU WANT! //Finally runOnUiThread(new Runnable() { @Override public void run() { dialog.dismis(); } }); } }; Thread T = new Thread(myRun); T.start() Remember : In you run() in this block DO EVERYTHING YOU WANT! If anything needs to change the UI, you must do it using runOnUiThread(new Runnable() { @Override public void run() { //DO IT } }).

I have tried it on Settings tab, After but I need to show the progress dialog before the settings layout is displayed. Here when I click the settings tab, there is delay for showing the layout, the progress dailog is give in the settings activity context,..but I need to show it inside the tabactivity context – jennifer Aug 2 at 12:19 Do you think the work that is taking time is in the onDestroy of the previous tab? Or is it in the onCreate of the settings tab?

– Sherif Aug 2 at 12:26 Runnable myRun = new Runnable(){ public void run(){ //DO EVERYTHING YOU WANT! Is not calling – jennifer Aug 2 at 13:21 I have a method inside the run method, but its not calling – jennifer Aug 2 at 13:21 oh sorry @jennifer I edited the answer :$ I added Thread T = new Thread(myRun); T.start(); – Sherif Aug 2 at 13:28.

You can use the asyntask feature of android to show Progress dialog refer this developer.android.com/reference/android/....

Wher I will start this Async task – jennifer Aug 2 at 12:20 on create itself, then load your layout in doinbackground() method of asyntask & on postExecute remove your Progress – hotveryspicy Aug 2 at 12:25.

Refer to my answer here, "Rotating wheel" progress dialog while deleting folder from SD card or you must go for async task to do this.

Try calling progressdialog.

Show before setContent to your activity. But this has to be done as I have done it. Use separate thread.

– Andro Selva Aug 2 at 12:32 I tries like that, an exception is thrown when I tried to close the dialog inside that handler – jennifer Aug 2 at 13:23 What error are you getting – Andro Selva Aug 2 at 13:25 08-02 19:06:34.068: ERROR/AndroidRuntime(32315): java.lang. RuntimeException: Can't create handler inside thread that has not called Looper.prepare() 08-02 19:06:34.068: ERROR/AndroidRuntime(32315): at android.os.Handler.(Handler.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
