Progressdialog isshowing returns true even called hide

Question

I have created progress dialog like this

public VolleyService(Context context, VolleyServiceCompletedListener listener){
    this.context = context;
    pDialog = new ProgressDialog(context);
    pDialog.setMessage("Loading...");
    pDialog.setCancelable(false);
    this.listener = listener;
}

and tried to show progress dialog using this method.

private void showProgressDialog() {
    boolean isShowing = pDialog.isShowing();
    if (!isShowing)
        pDialog.show();
}

And hide the dialog using this method.

private void hideProgressDialog() {
    if (pDialog.isShowing()) {
        pDialog.hide();
    }
} 

The problem is pDialog.isShowing() returns true even after I have called the pDialog.hide(). When I see the hide() method from android.app.Dialog.java they didn't assign the mShowing variable as false, but when I call show() they assigned the mShowing variable as true.

So is there any reason behind they didn't make as false? And how can I open the same progress dialog again?

Answer 1

don't use hide() use dismiss() instead. This will also prevent leaked window error

Answer 2

Please try to dismiss your dialog.

pDialog.dismiss()
