How can I programmatically display an hourglass in an Android application?

You can use a ProgressDialog
:
ProgressDialog dialog = new ProgressDialog(this); dialog.setMessage("Thinking..."); dialog.setIndeterminate(true); dialog.setCancelable(false); dialog.show();
The above code will show the following dialog on top of your Activity
:
Alternatively (or additionally) you can display a Progress indicator in the title bar of your Activity
.
You need to request this as a feature near the top of the onCreate()
method of your Activity
using the following code:
requestWindowFeature(Window.FEATURE_INDETERMINATE_PROGRESS);
Then turn it on like this:
setProgressBarIndeterminateVisibility(true);
and turn it off like this:
setProgressBarIndeterminateVisibility(false);
Here is a simple example of doing it using AsyncTask:
public class MyActivity extends Activity { protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) { ... new MyLoadTask(this).execute(); //If you have parameters you can pass them inside execute method } private class MyLoadTask extends AsyncTask <Object,Void,String>{ private ProgressDialog dialog; public MyLoadTask(MyActivity act) { dialog = new ProgressDialog(act); } protected void onPreExecute() { dialog.setMessage("Loading..."); dialog.show(); } @Override protected String doInBackground(Object... params) { //Perform your task here.... //Return value ... you can return any Object, I used String in this case try { Thread.sleep(6000); } catch (InterruptedException e) { e.printStackTrace(); } return(new String("test")); } @Override protected void onPostExecute(String str) { //Update your UI here.... Get value from doInBackground .... if (dialog.isShowing()) { dialog.dismiss(); } } }
