How to set a cancel button in Progress Dialog?

Question

I want to set a cancel button in my ProgressDialog. Below is my code:

myDialog = new ProgressDialog(BaseScreen.this); myDialog.setMessage("Loading..."); myDialog.setCancelable(false); myDialog.show(); 

I want to set a button with an onClickListener on this ProgressDialog. I tried with this code:

myDialog.setButton("Cancel", new OnClickListener() {             @Override     public void onClick(DialogInterface dialog, int which) {         // TODO Auto-generated method stub                   myDialog.dismiss();     } }); 

But it isn't working. I tried other similar listeners also, but still no success. How can I solve this problem?

Answer 1

Make sure you call myDialog.setButton before calling myDialog.show();
Also you can use myDialog.setButton("Cancel", (DialogInterface.OnClickListener) null); if you only need to close the dialog on button click.

Answer 2

The setButton method you are using is deprecated (although it should still work). Also, you might want to add the button before showing the dialog. Try:

myDialog = new ProgressDialog(BaseScreen.this); myDialog.setMessage("Loading..."); myDialog.setCancelable(false); myDialog.setButton(DialogInterface.BUTTON_NEGATIVE, "Cancel", new DialogInterface.OnClickListener() {     @Override     public void onClick(DialogInterface dialog, int which) {         myDialog.dismiss();//dismiss dialog     } }); myDialog.show();
