I believe the right way to fire a ProcessDialog is thru a Handler
try the following...
-- create a Handler and processDialog somewhere before doStuff()
private final Handler handler = new Handler();
private ProcessDialog processDialog;
-- your doStuff method should look like this
void doStuff() {
fireProcessDialog();
/*
do your stuff,
typically a network operation
*/
doSomeNetworkingOperation();
// dismiss the dialog
myProgressDialog.dismiss();
}
private void fireProgressDialog() {
Runnable updater = new Runnable() {
public void run() {
myProgressDialog =
ProgressDialog.show(layout.getContext(),"Please
wait...", "Downloading
content...", true);
}
};
handler.post(updater);
}
