Bolha, Thanks for responding.
Dialog is created using onCreateDialog and I am invoking it by
showDialog(int id)
Below is the code. When my PurchaseActivity starts I do not want the
dialog to go away until I get response from the server but clicking on
the search button removes it. For now I have created a customer
ProgressDialog class and eating the search button, which makes sure
dialog doesnt go, but there will be other scenarios like incoming call
which will remove the dialog
public abstract class MyBaseActivity extends Activity {
public static final int DIALOG_PROGRESS_SPINNER = 3;
Handler handler = new Handler();
ProgressDialog progressDialog;
protected Dialog onCreateDialog(int id) {
switch (id) {
case DIALOG_PROGRESS_SPINNER:
progressDialog = new ProgressDialog(this);
progressDialog.setProgressStyle(ProgressDialog.STYLE_SPINNER);
progressDialog.setMessage(getString(R.string.loading));
progressDialog.setCancelable(false);
return progressDialog;
}
return super.onCreateDialog(id);
}
}
public class PurchaseActivity extends MyBaseActivity {
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.purchase_screen);
//do other stuff
handler.post(new Runnable() {
@Override
public void run() {
showDialog(DIALOG_PROGRESS_SPINNER);
//call asynch thread to do some server work
which will call
listener in the same activity to dismiss dialog
}
});
}
}
