How to display progress dialog before starting an activity in Android?

by

You should load data in an AsyncTask and update your interface when the data finishes loading.

You could even start a new activity in your AsyncTask’s onPostExecute() method.

More specifically, you will need a new class that extends AsyncTask:

public class MyTask extends AsyncTask<Void, Void, Void> {
  public MyTask(ProgressDialog progress) {
    this.progress = progress;
  }

  public void onPreExecute() {
    progress.show();
  }

  public void doInBackground(Void... unused) {
    ... do your loading here ...
  }

  public void onPostExecute(Void unused) {
    progress.dismiss();
  }
}

Then in your activity you would do:

ProgressDialog progress = new ProgressDialog(this);
progress.setMessage("Loading...");
new MyTask(progress).execute();
