Determinate ProgressDialog in Android

Question

I want to have a ProgressDialog with determinate progress bar instead of default spinner. It seems to be easy: ProgressDialog has method setIndeterminate, and method show accepts a boolean to indicate indeterminateness. But these way don't work for me! The dialog is still indeterminate with a spinner. How to change the behaviour?

Answer 1

You need call:

progressDialog.setProgressStyle(ProgressDialog.STYLE_HORIZONTAL);

Check out the official dev guide Showing a progress bar with the example source code attached to that section.
