If you do this the life of the dialog will be managed by the Activity, simplifying things like orientation change with a dialog shown. > Both the static method ProgressDialog.show(Context context, CharSequence > title, CharSequence message, boolean indeterminate, boolean > cancelable) and creating a new ProgressDialog()Context and calling .show() > result in the same. > > That's what I don't understand. > I noticed that when you call your inProgress function, you're replacing the class variable each time. So if you do inProgress twice in a row your new dialog will replace the previous one and you lose your handle to dismiss the first one you showed. This might be your problem. Try initializing the progress dialog up front in onCreate and then in inProgress just update the properties on it by using it's setter functions (setTitle, setMessage). ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- TreKing - Chicago transit tracking app for Android-powered devices http://sites.google.com/site/rezmobileapps/treking -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Beginners" group.
