How can I open a ProgressDialog on top of a DialogFragment?

Question

I have this Android activity/layout with a button. When I click this button, it opens a DialogFragment with 2 spinners. When the DialogFragment shows up, I need to populate thes

Answer 1

Apparently thats a widely complained about subject with ProgressDialog, I suggest you try a normal dialog, created with the builder and whose layout (a custom one made by you) includes the progress bar or loading or whatever you need. This should solve your problem.

Answer 2

I also had a problem when my parent DialogFragment was recreated due to configuration change. I couldn't make the progressDialog to be visible on top again. The solution was to show progressDialog in the onResume() event:

@Override
public void onResume() {
    super.onResume();
    if (inProgress) {
        progressDialog = ProgressDialog.show(ctx, "Report request", "connecting...", true);
    }
}
