Custom progressdialog in android created dynamically

Question

I've created progressdialog in asynctask dynamically. I use custom style for my app. when I did that my progressdialog style changed to white color i need my default style in black with white text.

My java file:

class LoginTask extends AsyncTask<Void, Void, Void> {

private final ProgressDialog dialog = new ProgressDialog(Login.this);

@Override
protected void onPreExecute() {
    this.dialog.setMessage("Logging in...");
    this.dialog.show();
}

 // my prog

@Override
    protected void onPostExecute(Void result) {
        if (this.dialog.isShowing()) {
        this.dialog.dismiss();
        }}

My style.xml :

 <style name="AppBaseTheme" parent="android:Theme.Light">

</style>

<!-- Application theme. -->
<style name="AppTheme" parent="AppBaseTheme">
    <!-- All customizations that are NOT specific to a particular API-level can go here. -->
    <item name="android:windowBackground">@drawable/blue</item>
    <item name="android:textColor">@color/white</item>
    <item name="android:editTextColor">@color/white</item>
    <item name="android:buttonStyle">@android:style/Widget.Holo.Button</item>
    <item name="android:dropDownSpinnerStyle">@android:style/Widget.Holo.Spinner</item>
    <item name="android:textAppearanceButton">@android:style/TextAppearance.Widget.Button</item>
    <item name="android:progressBarStyle">@style/ProgressBar</item>

</style>
<style name="ProgressBar" parent="@style/android:Theme.Holo">
    <item name="android:textColor">@color/red</item>
    <item name="android:background">@color/green</item>
</style>

then create another Theme for your Progress Dialog and set like ProgressDialog pd = new ProgressDialog(Activity.this, R.style.MyTheme); – Dieback

Why this line is not working <item name="android:progressBarStyle">@android:style/Widget.ProgressBar</item> – Shalloon

Answer 1

Change the below line to pass the style through your constructor...

private final ProgressDialog dialog = new ProgressDialog(Login.this);

to this...

private final ProgressDialog dialog = new ProgressDialog(Login.this, R.style.ProgressBar);

Update:

I just change the style as below...and its working for.

<style name="ProgressBar" parent="@style/android:Theme.Holo">
    <item name="android:textColor">#FFFFFF</item>
    <item name="android:background">#000000</item>
</style>

Yeah this way is working fine but y couldn't I use this way <item name="android:progressBarStyle">@android:style/Widget.Holo.ProgressBar</item> – Shalloon

<item name="android:dropDownSpinnerStyle">@android:style/Widget.Holo.Spinner</item> This is working but not progressbarstyle – Shalloon

@HamidShatu Help me bro I'm stuck from yesterday. – Shalloon

Why you are setting @color/red and @color/green when you are trying to set Wite and black? – Schlueter

No change it. I want it like the one in holo theme – Shalloon

oh, man...I tried so hard...but could not achieve what you are desiring to do...I give up. Sorry buddy. – Schlueter

No, it's not working. You get the default color and background, not what you set in the style. – Emetic

@HamidShatu, I am trying run your snippet of code you mentioned above as i am trying to make a custom progressbar, I do get black background with white text, but progress dialog is shown at top - left corner of the screen, please tell me why this is so and is there a way to customize gravity of the custom progressbar as i want it to be at center of the screen – Sumerian
