showing a progress bar during file upload

Question

I\'ve got an async task that is supposed to show progress during a file upload. Everything is working except that it looks like it finishes the file upload really really fast,

Answer 1

You can try using a AsyncTask ...

create a progress dialog in onPreExecute method and dismiss the dialog in onPostExecute method..

Keep the upload method in doInBackground()

example :

public class ProgressTask extends AsyncTask {

    public ProgressTask(ListActivity activity) {
        this.activity = activity;
        dialog = new ProgressDialog(context);
    }

    /** progress dialog to show user that the backup is processing. */
    private ProgressDialog dialog;

    protected void onPreExecute() {
        this.dialog.setMessage("Progress start");
        this.dialog.show();
    }

        @Override
    protected void onPostExecute(final Boolean success) {
        if (dialog.isShowing()) {
            dialog.dismiss();
        }           
    }

    protected Boolean doInBackground(final String... args) {

// your upload code

          return true;
       }
    }
}
