Hi,

I'm trying to create a ProgressDialog for an Android-App (just a simple one showing the user that stuff is happening, no buttons or anything) but I can't get it right. I've been through forums and tutorials as well as the Sample-Code that comes with the SDK, but to no avail.

This is what I got:

    btnSubmit.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
      public void onClick(View view) {
        (...)
          ProgressDialog pd = new ProgressDialog(MyApp.this);
          pd.setProgressStyle(ProgressDialog.STYLE_HORIZONTAL);
          pd.setMessage("Working...");
          pd.setIndeterminate(true);
          pd.setCancelable(false);

          // now fetch the results
          (...long time calculations here...)

          // remove progress dialog
          pd.dismiss();

I've also tried adding pd.show(); and messed around with the parameter in new ProgressDialog resulting in nothing at all (except errors that the chosen parameter won't work), meaning: the ProgressDialog won't ever show up. The app just keeps running as if I never added the dialog.

I don't know if I'm creating the dialog at the right place, I moved it around a bit but that, too, didnt't help. Maybe I'm in the wrong context? The above code is inside private ViewGroup _createInputForm() in MyApp.

Any hint is appreciated,

Greetings, Select0r
