I was sitting 5 hours on one code with AyncTask which was not running properly. I just created another simple Activity (because in last one onPostExecute() wasn't working) and now this simple Activity is also not starting the AsyncTask. Can anyone see what I'm doing wrong?
public class ServerStatus extends Activity {
Context context;
private ProgressDialog pd;
int a;
TextView test;
#Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
// TODO Auto-generated method stub
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.server_status);
context=this;
test=(TextView) findViewById(R.id.welcomemessage);
new Download().execute();
}
public class Download extends AsyncTask<Void, Void, Void>{
protected Void onPreExecute(Void... arg0) {
pd = new ProgressDialog(context);
pd.setTitle("Processing...");
pd.setMessage("Please wait.");
pd.setCancelable(false);
pd.setIndeterminate(true);
pd.show();
return null;
}
#Override
protected Void doInBackground(Void... arg0) {
try {
Thread.sleep(2000);
} catch (InterruptedException e) {
// TODO Auto-generated catch block
e.printStackTrace();
}
a++;
return null;
}
protected Void onPostExecute(Void... arg0) {
if (pd!=null)
pd.dismiss();
test.setText(a);
return null;
}
}
}
Also, does NavigationDrawer block UI thread? Because I can't even update TextView when I implement it.
The methods aren't correct. You should add the #Override annotation to them so it will yell at you when doing it wrong.
onPreExecute() doesn't take any params so it should be
#Override
protected Void onPreExecute() {
also change the param type of `onPostExecute() to
#Override
protected Void onPostExecute(Void arg0) {
Remove the "..." See Varargs for an explanation.
Docs
Post explaining AsyncTask and getting values
those params in the class declaration are for doInBackground(), onProgressUpdate(), and onPostExecute()
As far as the NavDrawer, I'm not sure what issue you are having with that.
You need to change your code in onPreExecute
pd = new ProgressDialog(context);
to
pd = new ProgressDialog(getActivity());

How to show a dialog box in AsyncTask. Getting BadToketException in dialog.show();
I tried many ways but I could not solve it.
Also tried to pass context to the dialog box in different ways, but it is giving me the same result.
public class RetriveStock extends AsyncTask<Void, Void, Void> {
#Override
protected Void doInBackground(Void... params) {
message = client.clientReceive(1); // I get data here.
return null;
}
#Override
protected void onCancelled() {
super.onCancelled();
}
#Override
protected void onPostExecute(Void result) {
if (message.contains("AlertExecuted:")) {
final Dialog dialog = new Dialog(CreateAlert.this);
dialog.requestWindowFeature(Window.FEATURE_NO_TITLE);
dialog.setContentView(R.layout.display_dialog);// Dialog layout
TextView dialogText = (TextView) dialog.findViewById(R.id.digMsg);
dialogText.setText("Alert Executed!");
Button ok = (Button) dialog.findViewById(R.id.ok);
ok.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
#Override
public void onClick(View v) {
dialog.dismiss();
}
});
try {
dialog.show(); //WindowManager$BadTokenException
} catch (Exception e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
}
super.onPostExecute(result);
}
#Override
protected void onPreExecute() {
super.onPreExecute();
}
#Override
protected void onProgressUpdate(Void... values) {
super.onProgressUpdate(values);
}
}
Please help.
protected void onPreExecute() {
// TODO Auto-generated method stub
// progressDialog = ProgressDialog.show(this, "", "loading news content");
progressDialog = new ProgressDialog(context , AlertDialog.THEME_HOLO_LIGHT);
progressDialog.setMessage(""+getString(R.string.laodnews));
progressDialog.setIndeterminateDrawable(getResources().getDrawable(R.drawable.animate));
progressDialog.setCancelable(false);
progressDialog.show();
}
start dailoge in pre execute and stop in onpostexecute..
is CreateAlert registered activity in manifest..if not then you have to pass registered activity context
In my Activity, I load the content for a list from a DB, and want to display a ProgressDialog while it´s loading.
I got both working on it´s own, but if I load the data in a thread (which I should do?), the list is displayed before it´s data is loaded. But if I use join, the ProgressDialog doesnt even appear.
How can I combine this? Or is this not possible at all with threads? (AsyncTask maybe?)
Here´s the code for reference:
final ProgressDialog progressD=ProgressDialog.show(ShopSwitchActivity.this, "", "Loading..", true);
Thread myThread = new Thread(new Runnable() {
#Override
public void run() {
try
{
getData();
}catch(Exception e){}
}
});
myThread.start();
try {
myThread.join();
} catch (InterruptedException e) {
}
progressD.dismiss();
EDIT: Updated Code with AsyncTask:
public class LoadList extends AsyncTask<String, Void, Boolean> {
ProgressDialog dialog;
ShopSwitchActivity activity;
public LoadList(ShopSwitchActivity activity) {
this.activity = activity;
dialog = new ProgressDialog(activity);
}
protected void onPreExecute() {
this.dialog.setMessage("Loading...");
this.dialog.show();
}
#Override
protected void onPostExecute(final Boolean success) {
if (dialog.isShowing()) {
dialog.dismiss();
}
}
protected Boolean doInBackground(final String... args) {
try{
activity.getData();
} catch (Exception e) {
Log.e("error", e.getMessage());
}
return true;
}
}
Edit: My Solution
Using AsyncTask now to load the Data, and after it´s done, I refresh the list with the new data.
You can do it with AsyncTask. Write AsyncTask class in your main class that you want to do your operations. You can create the progress dialog in preexcecute of your async class and dismiss in onpostexecute of async class. Here is how you will do this:
class MyAsync extends AsyncTask<String, Void, Void> {
ProgressDialog pd;
Context co;
MyActivity ma;
public MyAsync (MyActivity ma){
this.ma= ma;
this.co = ma;
pd= new ProgressDialog(co);
}
#Override
protected void onPreExecute() {
this.pd.show();
super.onPreExecute();
}
#Override
protected Void doInBackground(String... params) {
// do your database operations here
return null;
}
#Override
protected void onPostExecute(Void result) {
// show db results and dismiss progress dialog pd.dismiss();
super.onPostExecute(result);
}
}
in MyActivity call as :
MyActivity ma = this;
new MyAsync(ma).execute();
You seem to miss the point of a thread. A thread occurs at the same time as your application. So your app doesn't call start then wait for the thread to be over- if it did you could just use a function. Instead your code continues to run. So if you just call join immediately, you're not doing anything. You'd get around a NetworkOnMainThreadException this way, but you'd still hold up the UI thread making your app totally non-responsive (and as a result not showing the dialog), and you'd eventually crash when a watchdog timer kills you.
Instead, the best way to handle this is to use an AsyncTask. Call getData in doInBackground(). Then dismiss the dialog in onPostExecute.
You should use AsyncTask instead actually.
Here is the link to the library. It is fairly simple:
1) onPreExecute() = show ProgressDialog
2) doInBackground() = execute your code
3) onPostExecute() = dismiss ProgressDialog
Here's a nice tutorial too.
In general:
#Override
protected void onPreExecute() {
dialog = new ProgressDialog(this.context);
dialog.setMessage("Loading...");
dialog.setCanceledOnTouchOutside(false);
}
#Override
protected void onPostExecute(String result) {
if(dialog.isShowing()) {
dialog.dismiss();
}
}
private Thread myThread;
private ProgressDialog mProgDialog;
mProgDialog = ProgressDialog.show(ShopSwitchActivity.this,"","Laden..", true);
myThread= new Thread(new Runnable()
{
public void run()
{
myThread.setPriority(Thread.MIN_PRIORITY);
try
{
getData();
}catch(Exception e){}
runOnUiThread(new Runnable()
{
public void run()
{
if (mProgDialog != null&& mProgDialog.isShowing())
mProgDialog.dismiss();
} }
});
}
});
myThread.start();
Which is the best way to load the data for a single item (read only) detail activity?
Should i use LoaderManager or directly AsyncTask?
Use an Asyntask for best result:
Public class example extends AsyncTask<Void,Void,Void>
{
private ProgressDialog dialog;
public example(Context context){
dialog = new ProgressDialog(context);
}
#Override
protected void onPreExecute() {
dialog.setTitle("Demo");
dialog.setMessage("Please Wait..");
dialog.show();
}
#Override
protected Void doInBackground(Void... arg0) {
// TODO Auto-generated method stub
return null;
}
#SuppressLint("NewApi")
#Override
protected void onPostExecute(Void result) {
super.onPostExecute(result);
dialog.dismiss();
}
}
I want to show a Progress-Dialog before my view has been loaded.
First i wrote the code in onCreate() but the dialog doesn't appear in that case. So i wrote it in onResume() but in this case, it doesn't disappear even after the view has been loaded. can anyone tell whats going wrong here?
protected void onResume() {
// TODO Auto-generated method stub
super.onResume();
dialog = ProgressDialog.show(this, "", "Please wait...", true);
//dialog.cancel();
new Thread()
{
public void run()
{
try
{
sleep(1500);
// do the background process or any work that takes time to see progress dialog
}
catch (Exception e)
{
Log.e("tag",e.getMessage());
}
// dismiss the progressdialog
dialog.dismiss();
}
}.start();
citySelected.setText(fetchCity);
spinner.setSelection(getBG);
}
You cant update UI(which is in main UIthread) from other threads. If you want to run any query in the background, you can use AsyncTask.
In onPreExecute method, show dialog and onPostExecute you can dismiss the dialog.
If you want to use Thread, then update UI using handlers.
Using AsyncTask
public class MyAsyncTask extends AsyncTask<String, Void, String> {
ProgressDialog dialog = new ProgressDialog(ActivityName.this);
#Override
protected void onPreExecute() {
dialog.show();
super.onPreExecute();
}
#Override
protected String doInBackground(String... params) {
try {
Thread.sleep(3000);
} catch (InterruptedException e) {
// TODO Auto-generated catch block
e.printStackTrace();
}
return null;
}
#Override
protected void onPostExecute(String result) {
dialog.dismiss();
super.onPostExecute(result);
}
}
In Activity onCreate Method,
MyAsyncTask task = new MyAsyncTask();
task.execute();
better to use Asynctask ......... but if you still want same or want to know the solution only then can try
new Thread()
{
public void run()
{
try
{
sleep(1500);
// do the background process or any work that takes time to see progress dialog
}
catch (Exception e)
{
Log.e("tag",e.getMessage());
}
YourActivity.this.runOnUIThread(new Runnable(){
#Override
public void run(){
// dismiss the progressdialog
dialog.dismiss();
});
}
}.start();
You can use AsyncTask. It is better than Thread
private class DownloadingProgressTask extends
AsyncTask<String, Void, Boolean> {
private ProgressDialog dialog = new ProgressDialog(ShowDescription.this);
protected void onPreExecute() {
this.dialog.setMessage("Please wait");
this.dialog.show();
}
protected Boolean doInBackground(final String... args) {
try {
downloadFile(b.getString("URL"));
return true;
} catch (Exception e) {
Log.e("tag", "error", e);
return false;
}
}
#Override
protected void onPostExecute(final Boolean success) {
if (dialog.isShowing()) {
dialog.dismiss();
}
}
}
i want to add a progress Dialog button when i click on this button before the new activity apperar, i think i don't need a thread, i did search but i find only that i need to do a thread and many other think it s not clear
i just want when i clik on a progress Dialog say to the user to wait so a few sec the other activity will appear that's all:
btn_newsfeed.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
public void onClick(View view) {
// Launching News Feed Screen
Intent i = new Intent(getApplicationContext(), CustomizedListView.class);
startActivity(i);
}
});
There are three different different ways in which you can use a ProgressDailog -using threads, handlers and async tasks.
here a example of async task for using a progress Dialog
private class Operation extends AsyncTask<String, Void, String> {
#Override
protected String doInBackground(String... params)
{
// code to be executed in background thread
for(int i=0;i<5;i++) {
try {
Thread.sleep(1000);
} catch (InterruptedException e) {
// TODO Auto-generated catch block
e.printStackTrace();
}
}
return "Executed";
}
#Override
protected void onPostExecute(String result) {
// runs on UI thread and updated UI after executing doInBackground
progressDialog.dismiss();
}
#Override
protected void onPreExecute() {
ProgressDialog progressDialog = ProgressDialog.show(MainActivity.this, "Title ", "Loading...");
progressDialog.show();
}
#Override
protected void onProgressUpdate(Void... values) {
// runs on UI thread and starts first
}
}
