(ProgressBar) findViewById(R.id.ProgressBar) returns null

Question

progress bar always return null

 public void calcola(View view) {
     final Dialog myDialog = new Dialog(this);
        myDialog.requestWindowFeature(Window.FEATURE_NO_TITLE);
        myDialog.setContentView(R.layout.calcdialog);
        myDialog.setCancelable(false);

        Typeface typeFace = Typeface.createFromAsset(getAssets(),"font/Flower.ttf");
        mProgress = (ProgressBar) findViewById(R.id.ProgressBar);

        TextView calc = (TextView) myDialog.findViewById(R.id.textView1);
        calc.setTypeface(typeFace);
        myDialog.show(); }

this is my xml

 <ProgressBar
    android:id="@+id/ProgressBar"
    style="?android:attr/progressBarStyleHorizontal"
    android:layout_width="wrap_content"
    android:layout_height="30dp"
    android:layout_alignParentBottom="true"
    android:layout_alignParentLeft="true"
    android:layout_alignParentRight="true"
    android:maxHeight="30dp"
    android:minHeight="30dp" />

the textview in the same layout works perfectly, any idea?

thanks

(ProgressBar) findViewById(R.id.ProgressBar) returns null

Because You are using findViewById(R.id.ProgressBar); instead of myDialog.findViewById(R.id.ProgressBar);

So your Code Shoud be

 mProgress = (ProgressBar) myDialog.findViewById(R.id.ProgressBar);
