I wonder if there is any way to show a ProgressBar
at the middle of the screen programatically regardless the type of layout of the current Activity like a toast can be shown like,
Toast toast = Toast.makeText(Activity.this,"Sample toast", Toast.LENGTH_LONG);
toast.setGravity(Gravity.CENTER, 0, 0);
toast.show();
Thanks ADM and Reddy for guidance. Finally I was able to show a progressBar using dialog,
var loadingDialog: Dialog? = null
fun showLoadingDialog() {
loadingDialog = Dialog(this)
loadingDialog?.window?.requestFeature(Window.FEATURE_NO_TITLE)
loadingDialog?.setCancelable(true)
val relativeLayout = RelativeLayout(this)
relativeLayout.layoutParams = RelativeLayout.LayoutParams(MATCH_PARENT, MATCH_PARENT)
val progressBar = ProgressBar(this, null, android.R.attr.progressBarStyleLarge)
val params = RelativeLayout.LayoutParams(150, 150)
params.addRule(RelativeLayout.CENTER_IN_PARENT)
relativeLayout.addView(progressBar, params)
loadingDialog?.window?.setContentView(relativeLayout, relativeLayout.layoutParams)
loadingDialog?.window?.setBackgroundDrawable(ColorDrawable(Color.TRANSPARENT))
loadingDialog?.show()
}
fun hideLoadingDialog(){
loadingDialog?.hide()
}
