I want to set timeout for Dialog (progress dialog) in android , to make the dialog disappears after a period of time (if there is No response for some action !)
The same approach as in this post is verified to work (with long instead of float):
public void timerDelayRemoveDialog(long time, final Dialog d){
new Handler().postDelayed(new Runnable() {
public void run() {
d.dismiss();
}
}, time);
}
You could always make a class called ProgressDialogWithTimeout and override the functionality of the show method to return a ProgressDialog and set a timer to do what you wish when that timer goes off. Example:
private static Timer mTimer = new Timer();
private static ProgressDialog dialog;
public ProgressDialogWithTimeout(Context context) {
super(context);
// TODO Auto-generated constructor stub
}
public ProgressDialogWithTimeout(Context context, int theme) {
super(context, theme);
// TODO Auto-generated constructor stub
}
public static ProgressDialog show (Context context, CharSequence title, CharSequence message)
{
MyTask task = new MyTask();
// Run task after 10 seconds
mTimer.schedule(task, 0, 10000);
dialog = ProgressDialog.show(context, title, message);
return dialog;
}
static class MyTask extends TimerTask {
public void run() {
// Do what you wish here with the dialog
if (dialog != null)
{
dialog.cancel();
}
}
}
Then you would call this in your code as so:
ProgressDialog progressDialog = ProgressDialogWithTimeout.show(this, "", "Loading...");
