Since Android is essentially Java, couldn't you use Thread.sleep(5000)? Not sure what the race conditions this will introduce within your code but it'll sleep for 5 seconds.

Re: [android-developers] saving shortcuts etc to the desktop?
I believe that you can do something like this. Intent i = new Intent(); i.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_SHORTCUT_INTENT, intent_to_execute_when_clicked); i.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_SHORTCUT_NAME, title); i.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_SHORTCUT_ICON, Bitmap_object copy); i.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_SHORTCUT_ICON_RESOURCE, resource file); i.setAction(INSTALL_SHORTCUT); sendBroadcast(i); This will create a shortcut so that when the icon is clicked, the intent_to_execute_when_clicked will be launched. -Tope On Wed, Feb 10, 2010 at 11:48 AM, Jason Proctor jason.android.li...@gmail.com wrote: perhaps i'm not being clear :-) supposing my app was an audio player, and i wanted to save out a playlist shortcut to the desktop so that the user could go directly to that playlist with one tap. is this possible? thanks On the home screen, click Menu - Add Then select whatever options you want to add.

Hi, You can check this out http://developer.android.com/intl/fr/guide/topics/ui/dialogs.html#ProgressDialog http://developer.android.com/intl/fr/reference/android/os/AsyncTask.html From what I gather, you'll have to start a thread using AsyncTask and that way you can show your progress dialog.

Re: [android-developers] Re: How to show a loading image or an animation?
I found this tutorial http://www.helloandroid.com/tutorials/using-threads-and-progressdialog What you can try to do and see if it works is to create a new thread on button click so that when the page is loading, you can display an indeterminate progress dialog while you are waiting on the page to be done loading using Webview's getProgress() method http://developer.android.com/intl/fr/reference/android/webkit/WebView.html#getProgress() . Create a handler so that when the page is done loading, you can dismiss the dialog. Hope that helps you(see the tutorial).

Re: [android-developers] Re: How to show a loading image or an animation?
So here is an example I created by following this tutorial
http://developer.android.com/intl/fr/guide/topics/ui/dialogs.html
under the heading Example ProgressDialog with a second thread
I modified it a little to load a webpage and use the progress of the
page to display/dismiss the dialog
package com.test.progressdialog;
import android.app.Activity;
import android.app.Dialog;
import android.app.ProgressDialog;
import android.os.Bundle;
import android.os.Handler;
import android.os.Message;
import android.util.Log;
import android.view.View;
import android.view.View.OnClickListener;
import android.webkit.WebView;
import android.widget.Button;
public class ProgressDialogTest extends Activity {
static final int PROGRESS_DIALOG = 0;
ProgressThread progressThread;
ProgressDialog progressDialog;
private Button mButton;
private WebView mWebView;
/** Called when the activity is first created. */
@Override
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.main);
mButton = (Button) findViewById(R.id.progressDialog);
mWebView = (WebView) findViewById(R.id.content);
mButton.setOnClickListener(new OnClickListener() {
public void onClick(View v) {
mButton.setVisibility(View.GONE);
mWebView.loadUrl(http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/::Home;);
showDialog(PROGRESS_DIALOG);
}
});
}
protected Dialog onCreateDialog(int id) {
switch(id) {
case PROGRESS_DIALOG:
progressDialog = new
ProgressDialog(ProgressDialogTest.this);
progressDialog.setMessage(Loading...);
progressDialog.setIndeterminate(true);
progressThread = new ProgressThread(handler);
progressThread.start();
return progressDialog;
default:
return null;
}
}
// Define the Handler that receives messages from the thread
and update the progress
final Handler handler = new Handler() {
public void handleMessage(Message msg) {
int total = msg.getData().getInt(total);
if (total = 100) {
dismissDialog(PROGRESS_DIALOG);
progressThread.setState(ProgressThread.STATE_DONE);
}
}
};
/** Nested class that performs progress calculations (counting) */
private class ProgressThread extends Thread {
Handler mHandler;
final static int STATE_DONE = 0;
final static int STATE_RUNNING = 1;
int mState;
ProgressThread(Handler h) {
mHandler = h;
}
public void run() {
mState = STATE_RUNNING;
//total = 0;
while (mState == STATE_RUNNING) {
try {
Thread.sleep(100);
} catch (InterruptedException e) {
Log.e(ERROR, Thread Interrupted);
}
Message msg = mHandler.obtainMessage();
Bundle b = new Bundle();
b.putInt(total, mWebView.getProgress());
msg.setData(b);
mHandler.sendMessage(msg);
}
}
/* sets the current state for the thread,
* used to stop the thread */
public void setState(int state) {
mState = state;
}
}
}
Hopefully that helps you in your task.
