Use Asynctask to display a ProgressBar in Android

Question

I am trying to do display a ProgressBar.

I am an Android beginner.

When I press the button, the task should be running in the background, but it does not display

Answer 1

Use ProgressDialog. You don't need any layout in this case.

ProgressDialog progressDialog = new ProgressDialog(context);

in onPreExecute show it

progressDialog.show();

and in onPostExecute dissmiss it

progressDialog.dismiss();
