Progress Dialog

import android.app.Activity;

import android.app.ProgressDialog;

import android.content.pm.ActivityInfo;

import android.os.Bundle;

public class ProgressDialogActivity extends Activity {

/** Called when the activity is first created. */

ProgressDialog pro;

@Override

public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState)

{

super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);

setRequestedOrientation(ActivityInfo.SCREEN_ORIENTATION_USER);

setContentView(R.layout.main);

pro=new ProgressDialog(this);

pro.setProgressStyle(ProgressDialog.STYLE_HORIZONTAL);

pro.setMax(300);

pro.setCancelable(true);

pro.setMessage("Loading data..");

pro.show();

Threadex t=new Threadex();

t.start(); //start thread

}//This is Oncreate method

class Threadex extends Thread

{

public void run()

{

for(int i=10;i<=pro.getMax();i=i+10)

{

pro.incrementProgressBy(10);

try

{

sleep(1000); //sleep for 1 seconds

}

catch(Exception e)

{

e.printStackTrace();

}

} //this is for loop ends

pro.dismiss();

} //this is end of Run

}//This is End of Threadex

} //This is End of Activity

Here Update the 10 distance continues Upto 300 distance because we have set 300 distance as max .

This is after the Dismiss the ProgressDialog

This is for ProgressDialog.STYLE_HORIZONTAL.

we can set Another Style ProgressDialog.STYLE_SPINNER but view is different
