Android ProgressBar

Android ProgressBar

We can display the android progress bar dialog box to dislay the status of work being done e.g. downloading file, analyzing status of work etc.

Here, I am going to display the progress dialog for dummy file download operation.

Here I am using android.ap.ProgressDialog class to show the progress bar, Android ProgressDialog is the subclass of AlertDialog class.

The ProgressDialog class provides method to work on progress bar like setProgress(), setMessage(), setProgressStyle(), show() etc. The progress range of Progress Dialog Is 0 to 10000.

How to define ProgressDialog

ProgressDialog progressBar=new ProgressDialog(this);

progressBar.setCancelable(true); //you can cancel it by pressing back button

progressBar.setMessage(“File downloading…”);

progressBar.setProgressStyle(ProgressDialog.STYLE_HORIZONTAL);

progressBar.setProgress(0); //initially progress is 0

progressBar.setMax(100); //set the maximum value 100

progressBar.show();//dislay the progress bar
