Android Webview loading dialog not being dismissed

Question

I am using the following code

class CustomWebViewClient extends WebViewClient {
    Context context;
    ProgressDialog pd = null;


    public CustomWebViewClient (Context c){
        context = c;
    }

    public void onPageFinished(WebView view, String url){
        pd.dismiss();
    }



    public boolean shouldOverrideUrlLoading(final WebView view, final String url) {
        pd = ProgressDialog.show(context, "", "pageload. Please wait...", true);


        view.loadUrl(url);  

        return true;
    } 

}

When I click a link in the WebView, the dialog appears and the page begins to load, however when the page is finished loading, the dialog is still on the screen. Obviously the code is simple enough, but I cant figure this out. Also, I guess I should add that the links being clicked have a few redirects, but I am not sure if that is related to the cause here.

How can I do this right?

Answer 1

Steven & Sander, try dismissing the progress dialog in a Handler

Something like this:

  class pdHandler extends Handler {
    @Override
    public void handleMessage(Message msg) {
      if(pd != null)
      {
      pd.dismiss();
      pd = null;
      }
    }

Then call your handler in onPageFinished:

 public void onPageFinshed(WebView view, String url){
        pdHandler.sendEmptyMessage(0);
    }

& you are done!

You missed @Override annotation.

Here is right code:

class CustomWebViewClient extends WebViewClient {
    Context context;
    ProgressDialog pd = null;

    public CustomWebViewClient(Context c){
        context = c;
    }

    @Override
    public void onPageFinished(WebView view, String url){
        if (pd != null && pd.isShowing())
        {
            pd.dismiss();
        }
    }

    @Override
    public boolean shouldOverrideUrlLoading(final WebView view, final String url) {
        pd = ProgressDialog.show(context, "", "pageload. Please wait...", true);
        view.loadUrl(url);  
        return true;
    } 
}

This code works, but progress dialog does't appears on initial loading. If you need it, add this code to the class' constructor:

pd = ProgressDialog.show(context, "", "pageload. Please wait...", true);

The @Override is merely a message to the compiler, it has no effect on the functionality of the code. – Entrails

This does work, you spelled Finished wrong, you wrote "onPageFinshed"
